Je t’aime… moi non plus (1976) – Serge Gainsbourg

I’m not sure Je t’aime… moi non plus would work if it was made today. I saw at the local art house cinema in my mid twenties. At the time I was as much in love with the yellow truck as with the decadence of the film, the performances of Jane Birkin, and Joe Dallesandro and the cameo by Gérard Depardieu. As a fan of Serge Gainsbourg, I’m glad to showcase it here today. The striptease scene at the beginning is very typical of this film. Towards the end of this Youtube clip, the footage is underlit.

    Jan- Great clip, what I loved most about it was the clothes that the people were wearing in it. The 70s is undoubtedly the most interesting decade in fashion.

    Gautam,

    Yes, the whole art direction of the film is quite amazing. I love the artsy/sleazy feel of it.

    Myra,

    I don’t think this came out in a portable format, so no need to feel embarrassed.
