Biography
Francis Veber is a French director, screenwriter and playwright born in 1937. He firsts started writing in the 60s for the radio and TV, then for the stage, notably the play L’Enlèvement (1968), which became the same year a film for which he wrote the script : Appelez-moi Mathilde. He found success with writing the scripts for Il était une fois un flic (1972) and L’Emmerdeur (1973) and started a long career as screenwriter. He directed his first film, Le Jouet, in 1976, with famous actor Pierre Richard.
Francis Veber moved in the 80s to the USA, where he worked as a script doctor for Disney and directed two films there which have marked him as a bad experience. He started writing again and came back to directing French productions, among which the very successful Le Dîner de Cons (1998), and started adapting his own films into plays. Veber is well known for his burlesque comedies and for being the writer of widely successful films.
