Born in 1956, Marc Caro is a French filmmaker and cartoonist. During the 1970s, Caro published his comics in magazines “Metal Hurlant” (“Heavy Metal”), “Fluide Glacial”, “Charlie Mensuel” and “L'Echo des Savanes”. He also participated in the influential “Raw magazine” by Art Spiegelman during the 1980s.
At that time he was already involved in film making with his friend Jean-Pierre Jeunet. The two of them met at a film festival in 1974, and managed to create two of the most visually striking feature films of the 1990s. Beginning with short film LE MANEGE, Caro and Jeunet collaborated on ads, music videos, and shorts throughout the 1980s, drawing on animation and computer effects to create an idiosyncratic style shot through with their mordant sense of humor.
The most successful work of Caro and Jeunet is outrageous "retro future" black comedy DELICATESSEN, which was made in 1991. This film won Cesar Best First Work award at Cesar Awards in France and took the Gold Award at Tokyo International Film Festival.
Bolstered by international acclaim and several awards for DELICATESSEN, Caro and Jeunet next set their sights on making a film they'd been planning since the first years of their collaboration, LA CITE DES ENFANTS PERDUS. In 1995 it was nominated for Golden Palm at the Cannes Film Festival.
