Thirty years after their separation, Jane Birkin goes back, dipping into the memories of the family holidays she shared with Serge Gainsbourg. With her typical honesty wit and tenderness, she commentates on her own super 8 films. Serge the protector, the clown, looking after the children, quite another image of the now so famous man, adored and respected, and so terribly missed. Here, we are witness to this sensitive shy man, irresistibly funny and kind.
Reviews
I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
What makes it different from others?
This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.
True to its essence, the characters remain on the same line and manage to entertain the viewer, each highlighting their own distinctive qualities or touches.
