2011 Newport Beach Film Festival – Special Screening

See “Gainsbourg (Vie héroïque)” at the 2011 Newport Beach Film Festival

Based on the remarkable life of iconic French singer, poet, writer and actor Serge Gainsbourg, the film is a surreal and evocative record of Gainsbourg growing up in 1940s Nazi-occupied Paris, following him through to his transformation into the hard-living showman, enfant terrible and successful songwriter of the 50s and 60s. Gainsbourg was also a famous womanizer who bedded some of the era's most beautiful women including Brigitte Bardot and Jane Birkin, to his notoriety in the 70s and 80s. A visually and narratively innovative project that features special effects from the makers of Pan's Labyrinth, Gainsbourg (Vie héroïque) glimpses the fantasy world that drove his inspiration, the women he loved and lost, and most of all, the music that made him a legend.
