NB! French, with english subtitles!

If nothing else, this unusual documentary merits a footnote in the history of film editing. Because Serge Gainsbourg died in 1991, the man could obviously not be interviewed. Nevertheless, the voice-over soundtrack consists entirely of the late singer’s own words, just as the images are culled from old, usually unconnected biographical footage. All in all, a formally innovative tribute to a performer at the centre of an entertainment dynasty so far-flung it would make the Hustons and Fondas combined look like one-shot wonders.
