There is many thinks to talk about when mentioning the legend that was Serge Gainsbourg: his music of course, but also his women (Brigitte Bardot, Jane Birkin, Catherine Deneuve.... to name a few) his taste for provocation (he for example made a reggae version of the French hymn 'La Marseillaise', burnt a 500 francs note on TV and made a lewd proposal to Whitney Houston on live prime time TV....)
It was only a matter of time until his life would be the subject of a film.
Today is the opening of Gainsbourg which I highly recommend to discover the life and tribulations of a man who was described the day of his death in March 1991 as 'our Baudelaire, our Apollinaire' by then president, Francois Mitterand.
In this extrait i chose you can see Gainsbourg (Eric Elmosnino) and Bardot (Laetitia Casta)
working on the famous Bonnie And Clyde duet.... un classique.
Il y a beaucoup de choses a evoquer lorsque l'on mentionne la legende qu'etait Serge Gainsbourg: sa musique bien sur, mais aussi ses femmes (Brigitte Bardot, Jane Birkin, Catherine Deneuve.... pour ne citer qu'elles) son gout de la provocation (sa Marseillaise version reggae, l'episode du billet de 500 ou encore sa proposition a Whitney Houston en direct a la TV...)
Ce n'etait qu'une question de temps avant que sa vie soit le sujet d'un film.
Aujourd'hui sort en Angleterre 'Gainsbourg' que je recommande vivement pour decouvrir la vie et les tribulations de l'homme qui fut decrit le jour de sa mort en Mars 1991 comme 'notre Baudelaire, notre Apollinaire' par le president de l'epoque Francois Mitterand.
Dans cet extrait on voit Gainsbourg (Eric Elmosnino) et Bardot (Laetitia Casta) repeter le fameux duo Bonnie And Clyde... un classique.
