Carine Adler, Lady Reid of Cardowan (born 1948) is a Brazilian screenwriter and film director.

She is probably best known as the second wife of British government minister Dr John Reid, Baron Reid, whom she married in 2002.[1] She has a son Hal from a previous marriage, and has two stepsons with Reid.

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.[2] The result was Under the Skin, the screenplay for which took her two years to write.[3] 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."[4]
