Review of Gainsbourg: A Heroic Life (2010) by Lucy M — 04 Aug 2010

'Vie diabolique' more like. Two hours of my life wasted that I will never have again. No plot whatsoever, just endless lighting of cigarettes, shagging lots of French tottie and playing those awful, pointless, not-at-all-witty ditties in their entirety while being followed around by Humpty Dumpty and Mr Big PointyNose.

I found Eric Elmosino totally lacking in charisma or charm. Maybe it's a French thing...
