Initial BB is on a constant repeat in my head. Just saw Gainsbourg un vie herodique yesterday. It´s been a few years since I actively listened to Gainsbourg, Brel and the like. It was an interesting movie about a man who had very low self-esteem and covered it up with wit and a big ego. No matter what you think of his private life you have to hand it to him, the man was a musical genius, there are so many of his songs that I like his own recordings but also Poupée de cire poupée de son, Comment te dire adieu and many more.
The women portrayed in the move are stunning, Brigitte Bardot, Jane Birkin and his first wife Elisabeth are all drop-dead gorgeous and have tons of personality and talent.
Leatitia Casta has a difficult role to play, the one of Brigitte Bardot at the time haled as one of the sexiest women alive. She put a lot of energy in to it and with the films playful and bizarre tone she pulls it off. Though she has nothing on B.B´s knock-out sexual charisma.
B.B´s youthful charms have given away to xenophobic and homophobic statements that she been found guilty and fined for inciting racial hatred. It would be easy to knock her of as an old crazy lady but this is really disgusting. Knowing that she has supported France extreme rightwing party Front National makes it a bit odd to watch her old moves and really stains her early career.
