Without subjecting myself to a debate on the the validity of the auteur
theory, I would suggest two directors who have rarely been discussed within
such a framework (and who I think are "auteurs"): Phillip Kaufman (The
Wanderers, Invasion of the Body Snatchers, The Right Stuff, The Unbearable
Lightness of Being, etal) and Atom Egoyan (Speaking Parts, Family Matters,
Calendar, Exotica, etal)
