'Gainsbourg'//'Vie héroïque' (2010)
Director: Joann Sfar
Cast: Eric Elmosnino, Lucy Gordon, Laetitia Casta, Doug Jones
In typical French fashion, 'Gainsbourg' is all about sex and cigarettes. If your idea of a good film is watching a man chain smoke his way to decrepitude alongside a bevy of beautiful and frequently naked women then 'Gainsbourg' has endless appeal. If you like a bit of substance with your clichés than sadly this film is lacking.
