André Bazin was one of the most influential French film critics and theorists of the postwar era, a central figure in the consolidation of modern film criticism. Co‑founder and editor‑in‑chief of Cahiers du Cinéma, he guided generations of filmmakers and critics and acted as a mentor to the Nouvelle Vague, maintaining close relationships with figures such as François Truffaut and Éric Rohmer. His theoretical work defended a conception of cinema grounded in “objective reality”: he valued deep focus, the long take and continuity that allowed the viewer to interpret the image, opposing currents that exalted montage as a form of manipulating reality. These positions helped found the so‑called auteur theory and influenced debates about the status of the photographic image and the relationship between filmmaker and film. Bazin published key essays later collected posthumously in Qu’est‑ce que le cinéma? and wrote studies on directors such as Renoir and Welles. His approach of an appreciative criticism and his intellectual humanism shaped twentieth‑century film criticism; he died young, at 40, leaving a lasting influence on film theory and practice.
