To I don't, be honest quite sure what is the film Gainsbourg as wanted to be, is it not that straight forward, awesome surprising biopic that I half expected. In fact, it's an amazing work of originality like it the debut feature by Joann Sfar, the renowned graphic designer of the Franco-Belgian comic new wave is, as with his remarkable comic series the Rabbi cat in his shared Jewish heritage worked tell the story of Lucien Ginsburg rise to fame, the world would come, cultural icon Serge Gainsbourg know him as the popular singer-songwriter and the extremely influential 1960s; weird, played by Eric Elmosnino.
The film begins with the young Lucien Ginsburg growing up in Nazi-occupied Paris, his Russian Jewish parents came from a musical background and his father brought him to the piano with him, a training in the was less interested in classical repertoire but Lucien music of but passionate about drawing and he is sent to Montmartre College of art. Significantly influenced Luciens childhood experiences deep him, not least the stigma the Jew by force of having to wear a star, but also the appearance of its oversized ears and nose made him painfully self-conscious is marked.
Graphic novel Gainsbourg (vie Heroique) the film is based on Director Joann Sfar, and he is obviously closely with the subject of culturally and artistically; Mix sent the appearance of the Gainsbourg animated early paintings and the visualization of a dark character who thought school as a way in a Gothic fairy story that Lucien would say to his mates to overcome its complex about his appearance fantasy sequences, the creepy "Professor Flipus", which arises when a Freudian projection of the immense head with exaggerated features exploded this Nosferatu E left number of Gainsbourg's alter ego puppet embodies all his least desirable characteristics from this point on is.
Professor Flipus is convincingly brought to life commitment that adult Lucien Ginsburg in a Faustian Pact promised by the exporting Doug Jones (Pan's Labyrinth) in exchange for giving up art and focuses exclusively on music, make it a massive star, and so "Serge Gainsbourg" born; this diabolical Doppelganger is a convenient device allowed him real guilt for his erratic and irresponsible behavior, especially the bad treatment of many women to escape, which come and go throughout his life; He left his first wife and their 2 children at an early stage in the film.
At the height of his fame Gainsbourg had a famous affair with starlet Brigitte Bardot (Laetitia Casta), who was married at the time with the Playboy Gunther Sachs, worked and wrote je t ' aime... Moi non plus, which they recorded for, but it was not until 1986 heard; Instead featured controversial original Gainsbourg of the next great romance, later the longest suffering his wife, the actress Jane Birkin (Lucy Gordon). They were together for nearly 20 years and during this time, Gainsbourg was in relation to drug and alcohol abuse, sink deeper reinvent figure itself as a counterculture notorious for a 500-franc note on stage burn and recording an ironic reggae version of La Marseillaise; Attention to the barbarous texts with enthusiasm to promote the patriotic killing of women and children.
The Blu-ray Edition provides a showcase for highly stylized Visual design of the film. The image is presented in its original 2.35: 1 aspect ratio with a full 1080p MPEG-4 AVC encoding with a wonderfully vibrant color palette, best illustrated by the omnipresent glowing eyes mentioned both the spirit of the swinging sixties, and the internal musings of the Gainsbourg of wandering imagination, by the surreal Professor Flipus. The DTS-HD master audio encapsulates soundtrack Gainsbourg of the piano in smokey nightclubs the informal moments as well as the ironic lush tinker orchestrated hits and clarity throughout the managed dialog.
The very short Extras are the only disappointment in this package; It seems that optimum home entertainment a massive opportunity missed by a documentary with footage and interviews with real life Gainsbourg a comparison not with. Nevertheless, Joann Sfar has a stunning debut created, which seems far less concerned with facts or truths present told to inhabit his hero than creating a bizarre, quirky world for him; existing at arm his destructive demon's length and for Eric Elmosnino of towering Central performance, is to dominate the film, he portrays the essence of the Lucien Ginsburg and manners of his creation of mercurial stage Serge Gainsbourg effortlessly.
