    Gainsbourg Review

    by cspmusic

    I liked the movie but it's not for everyone a couple of people walked out and there weren't many people in the theater to begin with. They use a caricature of Gainsbourg to represent his alter ego so to speak which a lot of people found either confusing or distracting. Again personally I liked the film.

    Gainsbourg review

    by chattycathy4

    I loved the movie, it was creative and his life was very interesting. The acting, cinematography, directing, and writing were excellent. I recommand it for older teens and adults because of some scenes and language. Then again it is in French with engish sub titles.

    Forget Piaf, Gainsbourg powaa !

    by

    The Americans don't understand why the frogs love Jerry crapy Lewis. In France, we don't understand why Americans love Piaf. Exit La Mome, this is (finally a good biopic of) Gainsbourg, the best french song writer. We miss you Serge, you're the best !
