Juliette Greco

Taking the best from LA VIE EN ROSE and AMELIE, renowned comic book artist Joann Sfar's GAINSBOURG: A HEROIC LIFE is a completely original take on one of France's greatest mavericks, the illustrious and infamous Jewish singer-songwriter, Serge Gainsbourg (Eric Elmosnino). Born Lucien Ginsburg to Russian-Jewish parents, Sfar follows him from his precocious childhood in Nazi-occupied Paris, to his beginnings as small time jazz musician and finally pop superstar. Along the way he romances many of the era's most beautiful women, including Juliette Greco (Anna Mouglalis), Brigitte Bardot (Laetitia Casta) and Jane Birkin (Lucy Gordon). Employing a witty surrealistic style and a soundtrack that includes many of the musician's greatest hits, GAINSBOURG: A HEROIC LIFE is a quintessential time capsule to '60's Paris.

A famous poet, scorned by the Left Bank youth, loves both his wife Eurydice and the mysterious Princess. Seeking inspiration, the poet follows the Princess from the world of the living to the land of the deceased.

When a beautiful, but impoverished, Polish princess elicits the fascination of a famous general, she finds herself at the center of romantic and political scheming, with the hearts of several men—as well as the future of France—in her hands.
