Slogan 1969 Jane Birkin whip pans

Grimblat s decision to treat the romance (initially) as a parody means he saturates the romantic interludes with massive closeups and reaction shots of the burgeoning lovers (heightening their giddy banter at one point with whippans, until the couple kiss in a twoshot), and the whole film begins as a media, pop culture, and romance until, as viewers, we realize the chemistry between actors Birkin and Gainsbourg is very real, and very charming, and perhaps natural, because according to a recent documentary by filmmaker Philippe Labro (Legende: Serge Gainsbourg), Grimblat s original proposal to Gainsbourg seemed inspired by the composer s own persona of a 40 year old, playing Pygmalion with young beautiful women before destroying each blissful lifestyle.
