Gainsbourg, je t'aime

Bonjour tout le monde!

Do you like a little Serge? Who doesn't, the man charms you like you're a snake and he's got a pipe and a basket.  A pipe and a basket made of pure solid love that is.  Oh, and also he's got that amazing back catalogue of music, acting, directing, writing, photography...

To co-incide with the release of the new Gainsbourg bio-pic, unexpectedly titled 'Gainsbourg', Branchage is celebrating all things Serge at the Curzon Soho on July 30th - Joignez-nous pour celebrer la Bourg!

Join us for a night of film and live music - we've got it all going on late into the night.  A selection of Serge Gainbourg's video performances, Hige Club (a collective formed especially for this one-off event) perform Charlotte Gainsbourg's gallic album 'Charlotte Forever', penned by her father, and a live performance, by Andy Philip and Tim Rose, of Gainsbourg songs selected from his massive oeuvre.  Then it's into the screening room for a rare big-screen showing of Serge's 1976 directorial debut, the highly controversial JE T'AIME MOI NON PLUS - risque! - starring Jane Birkin and infamous Warhol superstar Joe Dallesandro.

And here's the real kicker... Joann Sfar, director of said new Gainsbourg bio-pic, 'Gainsbourg', will be in attendance.
