Emmanuel Carrère

Emmanuel Carrère

Emmanuel Carrère (born in Paris on 9 December 1957) is a French author, screenwriter and director. He is the son of Louis Édouard Carrère, often known as Louis Carrère d'encausse after his wife's pen name, and French historian Hélène Carrère d'encausse.

Carrère studied at the Institute of Political Studies of Paris (better known as Sciences Po). Much of his writing, both fiction and nonfiction, centers around the primary themes of the interrogation of identity, the development of illusion and the direction of reality. Several of his books have been made into films; in 2005, he personally directed the film adaptation of his novel La Moustache. He was the president of the jury of the book Inter 2003.

He was scheduled to be part of the jury at the 2010 Cannes Film Festival in May.
