War and Women in Jānis Streičs’ Films

[1] ¹Referring to the directors’ roles mentioned in Andrew Sarris’ article ‘Notes on the Auteur Theory in 1962’ – ‘a technician’, ‘a stylist’ and ‘an auteur’ (Sarris 2004: 563), we can say that Streičs has intermittently played all of these roles, moving from a technician to a stylist and then to auteur, but sometimes also moving in the opposite direction.
