About the new emergence of cinematic reality through images and sounds, Astruc comments in his article about the "Camera-Stylo"...
"Astruc helped form this 'new variety of film criticism - an activist, often theoretical discourse aimed at a new kind of cinema as yet rarely realized in images and sounds. Its critical ideal was not a cinema of reality, but cinema of authors, of creators who 'wrote' in images.'* Certainly, the most famous articulation of this new brand of criticism is Astruc's article on the 'camera-stylo,' or camera-pen."

The most important aspect of the French New Wave how it pioneered to open the door to the voice of the individual author, the "auteur" of filmmaking. Filmmaking, despite being collaborative efforts, is described as one voice.
