DISGRACELANDSerge Gainsbourg: Brigitte Bardot, Bonnie & Clyde, and Orgasmic Pop Songs
In the late 1960s, Serge Gainsbourg carried out an illicit affair with Brigitte Bardot, not only the world’s preeminent sex symbol at the time, but a sex symbol with a powerful millionaire for a husband. Her love inspired Serge to a creative breakthrough, transforming French pop music and the music of the world while their passionate fling was busy barreling toward a doomed ending - an ending as doomed and as shocking as the end of the two outlaws they modeled their romance and their music on.
