Woody Allen

Woody Allen is one of the most respected directors of the 20th century. With a large array of films most starring the man himself, he has become a household name among the film industry. With 43 films under his belt Woody Allen's style and persona has become a golden standard among films. Although some controversy(marrying his adopted daughter) has caused a falter in his recent popularity. His impact on comedy and the film industry is undeniable.

I think Woody Allen would be a good example of an auteur in the way that his actualy personality comes to life on the screen. He is known for being a very nervous and neurotic guy, his films are played out this way(often with him as starring as the most neurotic character) and I want to see how this applies into auteur theory. The results should be interesting.
