Durgnat once wrote in these pages that Howard Hawks as envisioned by Wood was both a magnificent humanist hypothesis without which film culture would be infinitely poorer and a confabulation. The same might be said of auteurism itself, which throughout the decades has developed a troublingly persistent tic of ignoring vast swaths of the movie experience in order to fixate on a supposedly essential reality. Meanwhile, amid all the discovering, elevating, furious moralizing, ranking, categorizing, proclaiming, denouncing, diagnosing, and theorizing, the work of actual description has hardly even begun. - Kent Jones
