Gainsbourg: A Heroic Life

This was my introduction to Serge Gainsbourg; a musical pioneer. I'd like to understand French for one more reason now, to truly enjoy Gainsbourg's beautiful music. The subtitles provide a nice showcase of Serge Gainsbourgs work. As for the film itself, Joann Sfar is a name you should remember as he is the man responsible for creating this beautiful piece of cinema. This film is a true work of art. Sfar's directing and story telling are a fantastic style all his own. Almost like a fairy tale for adults. Beautiful to watch, beautiful to hear, and beautiful to understand. Eric Elmosnino's acting is superb. This film delivers the whole package.

10/10

MY MOVIE RANKINGS

I didn't rate it as high as you did, but a good film, really imaginative. I loved how he appropriated the open hatred of Jews during his childhood, into a kind of imaginary puppet that accompanied him for the rest of his life. That caricature was plastered all over the walls during the Vichy period.

And, without further notice.

Haven't seen the film, but I love his music.
