Carine Adler
Carine Adler, Baroness Reid of Cardowan is a Brazilian screenwriter and film director.
Career
Adler's break came when the British Film Institute asked her to develop her short film Touch and Go into a full-length feature. The result was Under the Skin, the screenplay for which took her two years to write. According to Richard Armstrong in The Rough Guide to Film, "What distinguishes her small oeuvre is the fusion of her protagonists' desire and their sense of inferiority."
Personal life
Adler is the second wife of former British government minister John Reid, [Baron Reid of Cardowan|Dr John Reid, Baron Reid], whom she married in 2002. She has a son, Hal, from a previous marriage, and two stepsons with Reid.
