Alexandre Astruc is a French film critic and film director born July 13, 1923, in Paris (France).

His role in the auteur theory is noted in his notion of the caméra-stylo or "camera-pen" and the idea that a director should wield his camera like a writer uses his pen and that he need not be hindered by traditional storytelling.
