First Look: Serge Gainsbourg, Vie Heroique

as Serge Gainsbourg in Vie Héroïque

Continuing on a French theme, The Playlist has a bunch of images from the upcoming Vie Héroïque (A Heroic Life) coming in 2010. We were first tipped to the Serge Gainsbourg bio starring Eric Elmosnino as Gainsbourg, Laetitia Casta as Brigitte Bardot, Lucy Gordon as Jane Birkin, Anna Mouglalis as Juliette Gréco, and Sara Forestier as France Gall when Karina Longworth caught a trailer for it prior to a screening at Cannes, but The Playlist had casting details way back in October ‘08.

The monkeys and I are big fans of ’60s French pop in general and one-time Weekend Forecast musical sponsor Serge Gainsbourg specifically so we’re extra curious about this one even though bios are usually tiresome. Serge is actually a two-time musical sponsor if you count this Gainsbourg penned number by France Gall…and we do.

On a sad side note, British actress Lucy Gordon who plays Jane Birkin killed herself back in May.
