Good comments- the only thing I would add is that on most studio produced films, the *studio* is considered the *author* of the motion picture and not the director. The tiny little disclaimer usually appears at the very end of the credits. I don't totally agree with this, but when so many hands go into making a film there really is no clear 'author'. C'est la vie.
