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!

Bellaria Kino

Always a little bit in the past - that's the thing about Vienna! 
But also in the cinema? Yes, there is a unique address: the Bellaria Cinema in the Museumsstrasse 3, in the 7th district, just behind the Volksthetaer. 
Here are the stars of the Ufa-time still a live. 
All film hits from the 20s to 60s are played here almost every day.It is worth to be there, like an hour, before the performance! It is almost never sold out, but I love to sit there with a glass of wine, you can buy from the funny lady at the "bar", and listen to the old Viennese ladies and the exchange information about everyday life and old movies.  
It seems like the Bellaria-foyer is a kind of livingroom compensation, which they visit regularly and from  now on, the same for me :)

Schikaneder Cinema/Cafe/Club Vienna

On my search for Berlin-like places in Vienna, I'm soon came across the Schikaneder.  

The Schikaneder is a mixture of alternative cinema, cafe and club. With cheap drinks, the retro furnishings, and a favorable guest-mix of students, artists and people on the margins of society it will be a relaxed evening. 

From a witty movie night to a boisterous electro party in the Schikaneder anything is possible!

So check it out: it is in the Margarethenstrasse 24 in the 4. district of Vienna.
