From visionary graphic artist and director Joann Sfar comes a completely original take on one of France's greatest mavericks, the illustrious and infamous Serge Gainsbourg. GAINSBOURG is an enchanting glimpse at his early life, growing up in 1940s Nazi- occupied Paris, and through his successful song-writing years in the 1960s until his death in 1991. Taking the best from LA VIE EN ROSE and AMELIE, GAINSBOURG is one of 2010's highly awaited films brought to us by one of the most beloved graphic artists of our time and the team behind the magical creatures of PAN'S LABYRINTHSounds very promising and worth watching!

Serge was a beautiful, complicated, ridiculously talented character. Histoire De Melody Nelson is in my top 10 albums of all time and frankly, I would listen to him recite a telephone book.

I do hope this film has a re-enactment of the time he told Whitney Houston he wanted to f*ck her.

...awkward.

Unfortunately tickets aren't available in my region.

*sad face*, :cry:
