So, there was a further connection with close friends and collaborators and now, we are family.<br \/>\nSHIRIN NESHAT: I\u2019ve also known of you for many years \u2013 from your work as a model, then as an actor in Blue Velvet (1986). I was a huge fan. When we started to socialize, I always wondered if I could have the honor to work with you. I was waiting for the opportunity and then came Land of Dreams. The day we finished filming you, we sent a video message to Jean-Claude,who was on his deathbed. He sent a message back and two days later he passed away.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<li><\/li>\n<p>Script by <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mutanteggplant.com\/vitro-nasu\/2021\/02\/09\/adieu-author-scriptwriter-jean-claude-carriere-at-aged-89-feb-8-2021\/\">Jean Claude Carriere <\/a> (Previous post)<\/p>\n<li><\/li>\n<li><\/li>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.mutanteggplant.com\/vitro-nasu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/1aaaDillonMNagaseo-e1605838786588.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.mutanteggplant.com\/vitro-nasu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/1aaaDillonMNagaseo-e1605838786588.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"620\" height=\"886\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-37574\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n(Photo of Matt Dillon by Masatoshi Nagase)<br \/>\nHappy birthday Matt Dillon!
