Jean George Auriol (January 8, 1907 – April 2, 1950) was a French film critic and screenwriter.
It ran for a total of 29 issues until December 1931, and it established a reputation for intellectual seriousness and the quality of its contributors, who included Jacques Brunius, Louis Chavance, and Jean-Paul Le Chanois.
Auriol established a structure for each issue (a major article, a selection of studies, film reviews and news items) which became a model for other journals.
[1] In 1946 Auriol launched a second series of La Revue du cinéma, still with Gallimard, and it continued for a run of 19 issues until autumn 1949.
Among the writers who featured in it at this period were Éric Rohmer, Jacques Doniol-Valcroze, Pierre Kast, and André Bazin.
