Je t'Aime....

The other night I snuggled down under a blanket with a cup of tea, to watch a film I earlier took out from the library. I have to admit that it wasn't really what I expected, in fact not at all.
Placed under the documentary section I somehow thought I was going to watch a two hour long documentary about the life of Serge Gainsbourg. But "Gainsbourg (Vie héroïque)", was nothing like that, and from the beginning to the end I loved it.
Not only the story about a little boy with a great imagination who loves to draw naked ladies and who can charm everyone, and the grown up man, who in the beginning can't find himself as an artist, and end up living the hard life of a superstar.
But also the way the story is told, in a mix between ordinary drama, musical and fantasy. And the way his alter ego is presented as a person, who he at last merges with.
The movie was 2 hours and 11 minutes and I wasn't bored for one single second. I don't know how much truth there is to the story as I knew nothing about Serge Gainsbourg before, but I don't think that you have to, to see this film, in fact if anything, it is an advantage.
