Gainsbourg

France

Biopic of the French singer. Lavish, expensive production. Some clever, imaginative features...especially in the first half hour.

Gainsbourg may have been a colossal egotist, self-centered jerk and extremely obnoxious person to be around but one thing you can say for him...he really could smoke. And he did...or at least the poor actor portraying him did...non-stop for the entire film.

It would be hard to conjure up a more repulsive human being. He epitomizes the idea that unwarranted celebrity destroys decency in a person. Getting through this film was an ordeal.
