Gainsbourg

vie héroïque = Gainsbourg : a heroic life
Aug 16, 2012GuyN rated this title 3.5 out of 5 stars
I viewed a dvd from another system of the movied "Slogan" on the set of which Gainsbourg met Jane Birkin. They became lovers and had a child, much like the movie, but apart from its 60s style interest, that was a lesser movie. To my surprise "Gainsbourg" had interspersed surreal moments (I won't spoil what they are) which I actually quite liked. I'm no fan of Serge, but this movie gave me better insight into him than "Slogan" plus one of his CDs did. Warning! The last reel is pretty dark, but that was his life. There is also some nudity and sex but then that's a norm for French movies.
