DISAPPEARANCE - Comfortable in all genres, from burlesque to mythology, the director, screenwriter, playwright and writer, artistic companion of Brooket Bunuel, died on Monday in Paris in his sleep. He was 89 years old.


He was a complete athlete of culture.

Jean-Claude Carrière competed brilliantly in all disciplines of writing: theater, screenplay, novel, essay, dictionary, translation, adaptation ... And in all genres, from comedy to epic, from thriller to historical drama and at the story, at ease in the simplicity of the burlesque as in the profusion of great mythological tales.

He has traveled the cultures of all continents, with a predilection for India and Persia, and his tireless pen is found behind the names of prestigious directors: Peter Brook at the theater, with

The Mahabharata

or

The Conference of the Birds

, Luis Bunuel at the cinema, with a collaboration of six films, from

Diary of a chambermaid

to

This obscure object of desire

, but also Milos Forman, Volker Schlöndorff with

Le Tambour

, Andrzej Wajda with

Danton

, or Jean-Paul Rappeneau with

Cyrano de Bergerac
