Global Film Festival: Gainsbourg: A Heroic Life (France) In-Person
Gainsbourg: A Heroic Life is a completely original take on one of France’s greatest mavericks, the illustrious and infamous Jewish singer-songwriter, Serge Gainsbourg. Born Lucien Ginsburg to Russian-Jewish parents, the film follows him from his precocious childhood in Nazi-occupied Paris, to his beginnings as a small-time jazz musician, and finally a pop superstar. Along the way he romances many of the eras’ most beautiful women, including Juliette Greco, Brigitte Bardot and Jane Birkin. Employing a witty, surrealistic style and a soundtrack that includes many of the musicians greatest hits, Gainsbourg: A Heroic Life is a quintessential time capsule from 1960s Paris.
The film screening is FREE and open to the public. Thursday, Jan. 24 at 7:00pm in the Gibble Auditorium.
