Jean-Claude Carrière

A prolific, highly accomplished French playwright and screenwriter, Jean-Claude Carriere is perhaps best recalled for his two decade association with Luis Bunuel during which he contributed to the screenplays of such classics as "The Diary of a Chambermaid" (1964), "Belle du Jour" (1968), "The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie" (1972) and "That Obscure Object of Desire" (1976). In addition, the writer has enjoyed profitable associations with such top talent as Jacques Deray, Milos Forman, Louis Malle, Volker Schlondorff, Jean-Paul Rappeneau, Andrzej Wajda and Peter Brook, often adapting plays and novels. Adept at a variety of genres, he excels at producing screenplays that demonstrate an acerbic but amused point of view.
