Eclectic artist Marc Caro began as a cartoonist and editor in the reviews Métal hurlant and Fluide glacial at the end of the 1970s. Early on he met Jean-Pierre Jeunet with whom he made two short films, L'Évasion (1978) and Le Manège (1979), before moving on to their first fantasy medium-length film, Le Bunker de la dernière rafale (The Bunker of the Last Gunshots) in 1981. This was also the first time he appeared as an actor. With Jeunet he began the writing of La Cité des enfants perdus (The City of Lost Children), but because of a lack of budget, the screenplay remained on the back burner. For some time he made several animated shorts, always in the same surrealist vein. He also made commercials, a music video for the group Indochine and theme music for television programmes. He again worked with Jeunet in 1991 for the fantasy film Délicatessen, their first real feature. With this film they won the César for Best First Film and the César for Best Original Screenplay or Adapataion. They could finally make La Cité des enfants perdus in 1994. He has also designed posters, composed music and made stage designs for choreographers Régine Chopinot and Philippe Decouflé and has been production designer on a number of films.
