Movie about Serge Gainsbourg

You have to watch the new movie about french artist and legend Serge Gainsbourgs life:
In France, he was a national treasure on several fronts: an astonishingly versatile musician, poetic lyricist, outspoken social critic, hilarious celebrity and a maverick pursuer of the high life.
To the rest of the world, he was an ugly-looking bloke with a knack for picking up great-looking women.

You will learn about Serge's Russian-Jewish heritage - barely acknowledged by the man himself throughout his career - and his unfulfilled urges as a painter. But newcomers to all things, Gainsbourg (played by Eric Elmosino) will find more entertainment value in the plentiful depictions of his very fulfilled urges as a lover of the ladies. Serge's musical and physical collaborations with Brigitte Bardot (Laetitia Casta) in the late 1960s provide the film's most accessible moments.

However, Gainsbourg's complicated relationship with his most important muse, Jane Birkin (Lucy Gordon), could have been given more prominence.
For it is in the decade leading up to his death in 1991 that Gainsbourg's mercurial behaviour and radical career choices revealed more of the man and the artist than we glimpse here.
But it is worth a visit, and at least you will hear good music and get some great style ideas!
