QUENEAU Raymond.
TAPUSCRITS, including 3 with autograph corrections, and documents, Death in this Garden, [1956].
Interesting set on Queneau's collaboration with Luis
Buñuel for the film La Mort en ce jardin.
The screenplay, based on a novel by José-André Lacour, was written by
Queneau, Luis Buñuel and Luis Alcoriza| Raymond Queneau also wrote the dialogue, with the collaboration of Gabriel Arout. The film was shot in Mexico from March to June 1956 and released in September 1956.
The film tells the story of five characters who, after a miners' revolt, embark on a journey through the Amazon jungle.
An innkeeper and his deaf-mute daughter, a prostitute, a foreigner and a priest get together to try to reach the Brazilian border. Michel Piccoli, Simone Signoret, Georges Marchal and Charles
Vanel play the main roles.
Queneau wrote in his diary on October 25, 1955: "For the past eight days I have been working with Buñuel. Before that: a month with Alcoriza. In any case, he demolished everything we had done. To say 'working with' is very ambitious. It's obvious that Buñuel finds my contribution of almost no importance. [B. is full of ideas, he's always inventing, it's better to have bad ideas than none at all.
As for Buñuel, he paid tribute to Queneau's work, "an exceptional writer with a great sense of spoken language. As a screenwriter, he didn't like very strong scenes. Neither did I. And I think that, although he acted very professionally, he was not comfortable with this film."
The file includes: * Correspondence about the film: 7 L.S. (and attachments) from the company
Film Dismage to Queneau. One of them rejects a first version of the screenplay: "Buñuel wanted to bring together characters who at the beginning did not like each other for various reasons and who, in the face of the difficulties they faced, came to like each other. This line does not appear at all in the adaptation. In fact, I must say that I don't see any line appearing, except for a thin link of adventure that makes this one quite similar to any American B-movie"... * Script by Buñuel and Luis Alcoriza (21 p. in-4, double carbon).
* Synopsis of the film (6 p. in-4 with some autograph corrections).
* Typescript with numerous autograph corrections by Queneau and one autograph page (42 p. in-4).
* Second typed version after corrections by Queneau.
* Third version with some autograph corrections.
* Fourth version without corrections (double carbon).
* Final version of the script (and carbon copy) with some autograph corrections by Queneau (85 p.).
* Screenplay (bound Compère copy, cloth back, 105 pp.): 2 copies, one with autograph strikethroughs, additions and corrections.
