Jean-Claude Carriere

Over the last thirty years, few writers have made as significant a contribution to European cinema as Jean-Claude Carrière. In this programme he gives an in-depth interview about his work as a screenwriter, talking about his experiences of collaborating with directors such as Jacques Tati, Louis Malle, Luis Buñuel, Andrezj Wajda and Jean-Paul Rappeneau. Clips from their films are used to illustrate his methods and approach.
