Eric Elmosnino is absolutely amazing as Serge Gainsbourg in Joann Sfar‘s movie, adapted from his own graphic novel about the singer. I especially liked the surreal elements of fantasy that Sfar incorporated into the narrative. Have you seen the movie? What did you guys think?

Some of my favorite images of Gainsbourg (the real one):

Interesting links:

The Secret World of Serge Gainsbourg – 2007 Vanity Fair article about the singer, with testimonials of his daughter Charlotte Gainsbourg, Jane Birkin, Brigitte Bardot, Anna Karina and Jeanne Moreau, among others. Unmissable!
