JEAN-CLAUDE CARRIÈRE
I appeared in a terrific surrealistic play by Jean-Claude Carrière, The Terrace. I have a memory of Jean-Claude having one of the characters cry out, "Incidentally, there's quite a wind!" - that "incidentally" says it all. All of Carrière's sense of humor is there.
With Carrière, you're always crying out - the audience, the cast, the readers, or simply the friends who have the chance to listen to his talk, to hear him tell those wonderful stories that are his specialty, which only he alone can tell with that hunger and curiosity he has about others.
Frankly, let me ask you this: How can anyone resist the charm, talent and friendship of Jean-Claude Carrière?
I, for one, have never tried.

Born September 17, 1931 at Colombières-sur-Orb (Hérault) in a family of winegrowers, Jean-Claude Carrière studied at the École normale supérieure at Saint-Cloud. After earning a B.A. in literature and an M.A. in History, he abandoned his vocation as historian, preferring to devote himself to drawing and writing. He has written novels, essays, and film scripts. In 1957, he published his first novel entitled Lézard and met Pierre Etaix through Jacques Tati. He collaborated closely with Etaix on his short and feature films. His collaboration with Buñuel lasted nineteen years. In addition to his career in the cinema, he has continued to pursue his work in the theatre as playwright and adapter; he has collaborated in particular with Jean-Louis Barrault and Peter Brook, the latter for twenty-five years. He has been the President of the Fondation européenne des métiers de l'image et du son (FEMIS). He is an Officer of the Légion d'honneur, as well as President of the Commission théâtre of the Société des auteurs et compositeurs dramatiques (SACD).
