, with whom he had a fertile partnership from 1940 to 1975.

The Early Years

In the 1920s and 1930s, Jean Aurenche was friends with some members of the surrealist groups. His sister Marie-Berthe was the wife of

Max Ernst Max Ernst (2 April 1891 – 1 April 1976) was a German (naturalised American in 1948 and French in 1958) painter, sculptor, printmaker, graphic artist, and poet. A prolific artist, Ernst was a primary pioneer of the Dada movement and Surrealism ...

and Max Ernst soon became friend with Jean Aurenche. Later, he even appeared in some film commercials directed by Jean Aurenche (for the "Nicolas" Wine, the "Barbes" stores and so on...). Jean Aurenche was also a close friend of

Jean Cocteau Jean Maurice Eugène Clément Cocteau (, , ; 5 July 1889 – 11 October 1963) was a French poet, playwright, novelist, designer, filmmaker, visual artist and critic. He was one of the foremost creatives of the su ...

who helped him publish several of his short stories in the famous "NRF". In 1933, Jean Aurenche co-directed two short documentaries with Pierre Charbonnier: ''Pirates du Rhône'' and ''Bracos de Sologne''. He later co-wrote the short film ''Monsieur Cordon'' with director Pierre Prévert. He soon turned to screenwriting, writing or co-writing several films like ''L'affaire du Courrier de Lyon'' (1936) by Maurice Lehmann and Claude Autant-Lara, ''L'affaire Lafarge'' or, more famously, ''Hôtel du Nord'' that he co-wrote with Marcel Carné and Henri Jeanson.

Aurenchébost

In 1942, starting with ''Douce'' (directed by Autant-Lara), Aurenche formed a longstanding partnership with Pierre Bost. Their method of writing together initially worked as such : Jean Aurenche wrote the treatment of the screenplay (sometimes based on a novel) and Pierre Bost then expanded this outline and wrote the dialogue. But soon, both of them wrote all the script together without any clear division of the writing. Together, Aurenche & Bost wrote several great successes of this time period, often associated with director Claude Autant-Lara : ''le Diable au corps'' (1945), ''l'Auberge rouge'' (1951), ''le Rouge et le Noir'' (1954), ''la Traversée de Paris'' (1956). Meanwhile, Aurenche & Bost started a fertile collaboration with Jean Delannoy, writing for him ''La Symphonie Pastorale'' (1947) which won the ''Palme d'Or'' at the Cannes Festival of 1947. During this time, they also worked with René Clément (''Au-delà des grilles'', ''Jeux interdits'' and ''Gervaise''). The film ''Jeux Interdits'' won the Academy Award on the Best Foreign Film in 1952 and soon became a classic. All these critic and commercial triumph contributed to make of Aurenche one of the most revered screenwriters of his time.

The Later Years

François Truffaut François Roland Truffaut ( , ; ; 6 February 1932 – 21 October 1984) was a French film director, screenwriter, producer, actor, and film critic. He is widely regarded as one of the founders of the French New Wave. After a career of more tha ...

wrote an article in ''Les Cahiers du Cinéma'' harshly criticizing the work of Jean Aurenche & Pierre Bost. The writing team progressively went out of fashion and barely worked during the 1960s as their favorite collaborators (Autant-Lara, Clément, Delannoy) grew older and retired. In 1970, young filmmaker

(who was a fan of their work), asked them to write with him an adaptation of ''L'Horloger d'Everton'' (a Georges Simenon novel) for his first feature film. The film, titled ''L'Horloger de Saint Paul'' was a great success, both public and critical. Aurenche and Tavernier quickly became close collaborators, even after Pierre Bost's death in 1975. They went on to write three more films together and even co-directed a documentary about surrealist writer Philippe Soupaul. In 1975, Jean Aurenche and Bertrand Tavernier reworked an outline written in 1951 by Aurenche & Bost. This became the film ''le Juge et l'Assassin'' which garnered great reviews when it was released in 1976. During the 80s, Jean Aurenche kept on working with several directors like Robert Enrico (''De Guerre Lasse''), Bertrand Tavernier (''Coup de Torchon,'' based on the Jim Thompson novel "Pop. 1280" and ''

Hommages

Soon after his death, a compilation of interviews with Jean Aurenche was published. Named ''La Suite à l'écran'' (''To be continued on the screen''), this book co-written by French journalist Alain Riou contained insights and information about most of Jean Aurenche's screenplays and collaborators. Later, almost ten years after his death, Bertrand Tavernier co-wrote and directed a film about the lives of Jean Aurenche and Jean Devaivre (a French assistant director) during World War II. The film, named ''Laissez Passer'' starred Jacques Gamblin (as Jean Devaivre) and Denis Podalydès (as Jean Aurenche). In 2010, French cinema channel ''Cine Cinema'' broadcast a 52 minutes documentary about the life and work of Jean Aurenche, which is also available as a DVD. Titled ''Jean Aurenche, écrivain de cinéma'', this film was directed by Alexandre Hilaire and Yacine Badday. It features some of Jean Aurenche's collaborators including Jean-Pierre Mocky, Alain Riou and Bertrand Tavernier. It also features Jean Aurenche himself by means of footage of a 1970 interview.
