Gainsbourg and His Girls at Cinefamily

By IDA Editorial Staff


"I don't know how to say 'I love you.' I don't dare."
- Serge Gainsbourg

Starting today and running through Saturday, September 2, our friends at Cinefamily are hosting several screenings of the French documentary Gainsbourg and His Girls. A joint program with Cinespia, Gainsbourg is presented as a part of the France Goes Pop series.

Known primarily as a legendary voice and "France's coolest icon," musician, director and artist Serge Gainsbourg has also been called a total misogynist and a "world-renowned womanizer." Through television footage found in the archives of the French Institute Nationale Audio-Visuel, Gainsbourg and His Girls invites audiences to embark on a journey that takes a deep look into the artist's life and career. Directed by Didier Varrod and Pascal Forneri, this digitally-presented film doesn't promise to answer every question about Gainsbourg's personality. But it will certainly come pretty close to broadening our perception of him.

Join the Cinefamily for the LA premiere of this gorgeous documentary that takes a thorough look at the mysterious allure that is Serge Gainsbourg and the women in his life.    

The first screening begins at 7:30pm on Tuesday night at Cinefamily, located at 611 N Fairfax Avenue in Los Angeles. Get your tickets now!
