You know the music, but do you know the man? His music was visionary, his
lovers were legendary, his life was extraordinary. Gainsbourg takes you on a
journey into the world of a musical icon. Based on the remarkable life of
iconic French singer, poet, writer and actor Serge Gainsbourg, the film is a
bold and evocative imagining of the precocious talent whose music, style and
joie de vivre is adored by many. From Gainsbourg's youth growing up in 1940s
Nazi-occupied Paris, when he was called Lucien Ginsberg, through to his
transformation into the hard-living showman, enfant terrible and successful
song-writer of the 60s and 70s (famous for his glamorous lovers including
Brigitte Bardot and Jane Birkin), to his debauched notoriety in the 80s.
Innovative in its visuals and narrative, the project features special
effects from the makers of Pan's Labyrinth creating touches to assist in
making Gainsbourg groundbreaking cinema. We glimpse the fantasy world that
drove his inspiration, the women he loved and lost and most of all, the
music that made him a legend.

  • I am so excited about watching this tomorrow! His was indeed a life well lived; I wish I knew more about him than what is posted on wikipedia. The world needs more hellraisers like him, to push the envelope of social conventions.

  • Saw this movie yesterday. They tried to cram in so much detail, it looks like the story jumps from I scene to another, Burkin to Bardot without letting you feel any connections with the correctors. Somehow it looks like a collage!.

    Good things: the surreal scenes, cinematography and the animated opening scene.

    Will give it 2.5 stars out of 5only because I love Gainsbourg's music.

  • neeeeed to buy this on dvd

  • It shows that it's a comic book artist who directed this movie, it's stunning cinematography.

  • Great trailer,looks truly compelling.... must put it on my must to see list!
