Paris, winter 2009: the city of the Seine is full of posters advertising that will, without doubt, the movie of the year for Paris: the expected Gainsbourg (Fri héroïque) . After fifteen years continuous negative, the family of the great figure of French chanson accepted that the life of Serge (Lucien Ginsburg) was made into a film.
opened last Saturday in Valencia 25 edition of Cinema Jove , a film festival that can boast an upward trajectory and good avenue. That night he presented the first of the films competing in the official section, Gainsbourg (Fri héroïque), first-French film director Joann Sfar. A biopic on singer rebel, as the same character, away from the convention. Far from being a mere documentary about his "giddy-life, this is a story with animated characters included. And that is the hallmark of his director, Sfar, French cult cartoonist had to be resolved.
Gainsbourg (Fri heroiques) traces the life of Lucien, the little French (Kacey Mottet Klein) of Jewish origin who lives haunted by his own mug a character in the film comes to size but they only see the small and espactador. In this way we become complicit. We know their thoughts, their fears. Lucien grows and becomes Serge (Eric Elmosnino), believed to be possessed by those thoughts that day and night entails. The mug does not give truce. Meanwhile, Serge up for others once it has renounced his inherent passion, painting. But, in addition to composing, seduces, it is certainly best given from either child.
Serge said: "Ugliness is something superior to beauty lasts longer." And this ugliness, with a charming unusual conquered Juliette Greco, for which he also composed the success The Javanaise . In their networks also fell sexual icon of the moment, Brigitte Bardot (Laetitia Casta), original interpreter of the later famous whispers Je t'aime ... moi non plus. tell that to the top gave life to the explosive Bardot, visited it, who confessed his sexual exploits with Serge. And no more is known. Secret summary. But yes, the beautiful and the ugly. Sorry, the irresistible ugly.
And she appeared. Newcomer of the current time, the Swinging London, the young woman's legs and cheekbones eternal disturbing: Jane Birkin. she lived with a story of love and hate of Paris all felt a part. In the film, she Birkin is played by Lucy Gordon, an actress who did not live to see the premiere of the film, he died months earlier. In fact, the film ends with a "For you, Lucy", who served superbly in the wild and delicate Jane. That fragile voice actress and top body, finally, give up their moans to the world with the final version of Je t'aime ... moi non plus .
But beyond music and romance, Gainsbourg (Fri héroïque) is a story that portrays the evolution, not always favorable, a being single and Serge human. Misfit ever. Full Jewish German occupation. Child artist and reader of Baudelaire, always ahead of his age. And his generation. A reggae version of La Marseillaise earned him death threats. In the last stage of his life hooked to decline, deterioration. Alcohol and look left. Separation of Jane and other wildlife. Today, become a pop icon of French music: Serge sentenced, and we collect.
"This movie is like if I had met with Gainsbourg drunk in a nightclub at 4 in the morning and had told me his life. To write the script I relied on excerpts from interviews, so the film is a fantasy of mine, but a fantasy of Serge Gainsbourg own, "said Joann Sfar director in presenting the film at Cinema Jove.
Gainsbourg (Fri héroïque) opens in English cinemas on 9 July.
