#R.I.P. Jean Claude Carrière

[grindhousecellar]

Celebrating Jean-Claude Carrière this #JessFrancoFriday.

Jean-Claude Carrière was a screenwriter on many important classic films such as the Tin Drum, Belle Du Jour, The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeois, and many more. Though more importantly on #francofriday he also has writing credits on several Jess Franco films. These are Diabolical Dr Z (Miss Muerte), Attack of the Robots (Cartes Sur Table), and Jack the Ripper. He has also been credited with La Casa de Las Mujeres Perdidas and therefore also Broken Dolls, but Jess Franco is on the record as saying that this was not the case, he turned down the work. There is an interview with Carrière where he discusses Jess Franco available on the 1kult Vimeo. Unfortunately my French is a little too rusty to figure out all that he says about Jess, but it’s worth a watch. Jess Franco Friday!
