"Gainsbourg", directed by Joann Sfar, follows the life of French singer/songwriter/film director 'Serge Gainsbourg' (Eric Elmosnino), from his childhood in occupied France, to his rise as an international pop star.
His varied style and individuality made Gainsbourg's songs difficult to categorize, although he is often regarded as one of the world's most influential popular musicians.
In 1969, he released the song "Je t'aime... moi non plus", featuring explicit lyrics and simulated sounds of a female orgasm.
The song also appeared on the LP "Jane Birkin/Serge Gainsbourg".
Originally recorded with actress Brigitte Bardot, the recording was released with future girlfriend Birkin when Bardot backed out.

Family Friendly Film Festival, Manchester
Summer holiday's sorted for Manchester parents for the next fortnight. And you don't even need to feel guilty about plonking the kids in front of a screen with some popcorn. There are previews, like the Nic Cage-starring Sorcerer's Apprentice, and free outdoor screenings at Spinningfields (Up, Spirited Away, Jurassic Park, Madagascar), but more brain-fuelling and calorie-burning are the themed days and tie-ins with local museums. See films like Fantastic Mr Fox and The Princess And The Frog in fancy dress (the kids, not the parents); take in aquatic movies like Ponyo or The Little Mermaid, plus themed activities, at the Bolton Aquarium; have an arty Mad Hatter's tea party at the Whitworth Art Gallery … you get the picture. And you get the parental brownie points.
Various venues, Fri to 15 Aug, visit familyfriendlyfilmfestival.org.uk
