Serge Gainsbourg, a young Jew, walks around German-occupied Paris; a new and shy poet that leaves behind his paintings and his bedroom to overwhelm the nightclubs’ audiences in the turbulent 1960’s. It’s a “heroic” life, where the creatures imagined in his head gain life on screen, and his eloquence matches his scandalous love affairs, like those with Jane Birkin and Brigitte Bardot. From these elements a subversive work is born, agitating the whole world.
