He was the singer who was personally criticised by the Vatican but was reportedly terrified of Brigitte Bardot's breasts. He scandalised France by singing a duet about incest, accompanied by daughter Charlotte, but was feted as a genius upon his death. Serge Gainsbourg, singer-songwriter, musical innovator, poet, film-maker and actor, is to be the subject of a new biopic, according to Variety.
Eric Elmosnino will play the charismatic singer, a Jewish refugee of the Russian Bolshevik revolution who suffered under the Nazis in Paris during the 1940s. The graphic novelist Joann Sfar will make his directing debut on the project.
Gainsbourg was almost as well known for his series of glamorous lovers as for his music. French model Laetitia Casta will play Bardot, with Mylene Jampanoi as his final partner, Bambou. Anna Mouglalis is in talks to play his frequent collaborator, the French singer Juliette Greco.
The singer is best known outside France for his controversial 1969 duet with lover Jane Birkin, Je T'Aime ... Moi Non Plus. It reached No 1 in the UK but was deemed offensive by the Vatican, which made a public statement to that effect. It was to Birkin, 17 years his junior, that Gainsbourg admitted he had been terrified of his previous girlfriend Bardot's curvaceous figure.
In 1984 the singer took things even further when he recorded the song Lemon Incest with daughter Charlotte. Yet upon his death in 1991 aged 62 from a heart attack, French president Francois Mitterand described him as a man who had "elevated the song to the level of art".
The new film has parallels with the recent Edith Piaf biopic, La Vie En Rose, which won an Oscar for star Marion Cotillard and was a hit beyond France's borders. It perhaps says something about Hollywood's changing views of the French film industry that the Gainsbourg feature, which will be titled Serge Gainsbourg (Vie Heroique), has been taken on by Universal. It will be the US studio&#
