Ep. 73 Jean-Claude Carrière

Hosts John Cribbs & Christopher Funderburg sit down to pay
tribute to one of the greatest screenwriters who ever lived,
Jean-Claude Carrière. When Carrière recently passed away the hosts
decided to pick a handful of the writer’s films to discuss as a way
of exploring his long and incredibly varied career. From his
career-defining work with Luis Buñuel to his long-running
associations with filmmakers including Miloš Forman & Pierre
Étaix to his more off-beat one-off projects, few screenwriters were
as fearless & unpredictable. Carrière’s career began in the
early 60’s & spanned decades - he kept working right up until
the end, with screen credits as recently as 2019. This is our
remembrance of the novelist, ghost-writer, conversationalist,
adapter and screenwriter who collaborated with everyone from
Umberto Eco to Nagisa Ōshima to the Dalai Lama. Rest in peace,
Carrière. Support our Patreon: www.patreon.com/thepinksmoke The
