Life
Carmet made his film debut in 1942, directed by Marcel Carné in the night with the devil. The following year saw an appearance in the 1945 film Children of Paradise publish next Arletty and Jean -Louis Barrault. First, followed by small roles until he was able to establish itself as the second hero alongside the main character such as next to Gérard Philipe in The Adventures of Till Ulenspiegel (Les Aventures de Till L' Espiègle ).
In his almost fifty years spanning film career Carmet embodied often the type of the common man of the people in its various manifestations: whether as the fate of heavy bent miners in Claude Berri's Germinal by Émile Zola, as a brutal rapist in Yves Boissets Monsieur Dupont or as a murder victim Isabelle Huppert in Claude Chabrol's Violette Nozière. He played with such renowned directors such as Jean Renoir ( The corporal in the loop ), Henri Verneuil ( Silent as the night ), Claude Sautet ( The great residence ), Jean -Jacques Annaud ( longing for Africa ), Robert Dhéry ( The great American ), Bertrand Blier (The assassin you meet at the buffet ), Denys Arcand ( the Crime of Ovide Plouffe ) and Volker Schlöndorff ( the forgery ).
A turning point experienced its role model, as Yves Robert in 1972 alongside Pierre Richard in the comedy cast him The Tall Blond Man with One Black Shoe. Carmet had worked previously with both - with Robert in 1967 in the Philippe Noiret - comedy Alexander, the art of living with Richard and four years later in the Alfred, the Knallerbse. The Tall Blond Man with One Black Shoe Carmet offered the opportunity to play off in the second lead role his own physical comedy, without thereby slipping into slapstick. Similarly, his roles in the sequel were the tall blonde returns ( also directed by Robert ), next to Louis de Funès in Louis and his alien cabbages and again next to Pierre Richard invested in the fugitives. The fact that he dominated the tragicomic element of such figures, he could make 1986 as an aging transvestite Mehdi Charef Miss Mona proof, for which he received a César Award nomination for Best Actor.
