The award-winning writer César Colo Tavernier, who wrote for Claude Chabrol and Bertrand Tavernier, her ex-husband, died on the night of Friday to Saturday from cancer, according to a press release from the Lumière Institute.
Of Irish and Franco-Spanish origin, Colo Tavernier O'Hagan wrote for film and television and in 1985 won the César for best adaptation for Un dimanche à la campagne .
A solar personality
In 1995, L'Appât , for which she wrote the screenplay, won the Golden Bear at the Berlin Festival. “Life had separated us but I feel a void and a lack. Colo trained me, pushed me, made me grow. We raised together Nils [Tavernier, actor and director] and Tiffany (writer) that I think of this morning, "said Bertrand Tavernier, president of the Lumière Institute, in the press release.
“I remember a solar personality, full of character and joy, attentive to others and fiercely independent. As a screenwriter, Colo always chose strong stories, put very personal things in them and always got something very universal out of them, "said Thierry Frémaux, director of the Lumière Institute.
