In a way, the waify offspring of Serge Gainsbourg and Jane Birkin is a perfect match for the vagabond scientologist Beck, and this video shows why: they can have lazing-around Boho slumber parties where they muse about philosophy, art and making love while cuddling; or they can meet odd new people doing extraordinary things, like [...]

Without my specs on I think I look really great, then I put them on and I scream. But at 62, I still think less make-up is better.

What a bizarre feeling it is, when you realize that someone you know, you have worked with on more than one occasion, must suddenly be seen as a personage whose past is to be 'played' in a film by, in this case inevitably, a suitably younger actress.

The daughter of French singer-provocateur Serge Gainsbourg and Swinging London icon Jane Birkin, Charlotte Gainsbourg was born to fame, but her career path hasn’t been a straight line. At the age of 12, she dueted with her father on “Lemon Incest,” a proclamation of paternal devotion whose ambiguous lyrics and semi-clad video prompted public outcry. She quickly followed it in 1986...
