Final BIFFLIX Screening Of The Year
BIFFLIX will be holding its last screening of the year on Sunday [Dec. 18] with a film about a French entertainer whose love life was as legendary as his music.
“Gainsbourg: A Heroic Life” is a completely original take on one of the greatest French mavericks, the illustrious and infamous Jewish singer-songwriter, Serge Gainsbourg [Eric Elmosnino]. The European star scooped Best Actor at New York’se 2010 Tribeca Film Festival for this role.
Born Lucien Ginsburg to Russian-Jewish parents, follow him from his precocious childhood in Nazi-occupied Paris, to his beginnings as small time jazz musician and finally pop superstar.
Along the way he romances many of the era’s most beautiful women, including Juliette Greco [Anna Mouglalis], Brigitte Bardot [Laetitia Casta] and Jane Birkin [Lucy Gordon].
Employing a witty surrealistic style and a soundtrack that includes many of the musician’s greatest hits — including his signature song “Je T’aime … Moi Non Plus” … “Gainsbourg: A Heroic Life” is a quintessential time capsule to 1960s Paris.
