SIETE CARTAS MAS UNA

Jean-Claude Carriére (1931) prefers to be defined as a storyteller. He and Jean-Luc Godard are the last active survivors of the movement that changed the history of cinema, the Nouvelle Vague (French for New Wave). He wrote with Luis Buñuel more than twenty scripts and his memoir. With Peter Brook, he wrote plays that are already classics. He is the author of 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. "These seven letters plus one are intended for my two daughters. The oldest, Iris, is 55 today. The other, Kiara, has just turned 16. Two generations, two mothers, two different lives.".
