Jean-Claude Carrière (1931) likes to describe himself as a storyteller. He and Jean-Luc Godard are the last remaining active members of the French New Wave, a movement that forever changed the history of film. He wrote over twenty screenplays with Luis Buñuel and also ghosted Buñuel’s autobiography. He further co-authored now classic plays with Peter Brook. He has published over fifty books, including essays, novels and compilations of folktales. Among the many awards he has received for his books and scripts, we should mention his recent Academy Honorary Award for his lifetime achievements as a filmmaker, screenwriter and actor. In this new book, he seeks to share his life with his daughters, Iris and Kiara. Why not return to those places throughout the world that have most informed his way of looking? Why not choose seven sites (plus one) that have defined him as a person? From India to Mexico, from Iran to New York and on to Toledo, Kiara and Iris get to share their father’s encounters and thoughts in a journey where words recreate the special places he visited and reveal their mysteries.
