The work carried by Matthieu Almaric, Marion Cotillard, Louis Garrel and Charlotte Gainsbourg should satisfy fans of the 7ᵉ art. A key figure in French cinema, Yvan Attal’s companion is used to surprising with her projects!
At the same time, it is in the music industry that she shines. Since birth, the happy mother of three has lived in the spotlight. If to date, she has become used to it, this has not always been the case in the past. Fruit of the relationship between Serge Gainsbourg and Jane Birkin, the artist quickly fascinated the media! “To be a daughter of” was once a burden for Charlotte Gainsbourg.
“I turned into a cop…”
For magazine M in 2017, the star agreed to lift the veil on her eventful adolescence! The opportunity for her to discuss her relationship with her illustrious father who died in 1991. It was in 1985 that her film career took off with the film “The Cheeky”. In the process, Serge Gainsbourg taints him with his escapades! His work “Charlotte forever” which is dedicated to him hits the headlines because of the songs judged “incestuous” by public opinion. “He made me go too far, do things that bothered me.” recognized Charlotte Gainsbourg. “It was difficult. I sulked on the covers of the newspapers, I didn’t want to make any effort, it was my way of preserving myself”.
Obviously, father and daughter never managed to agree on the management of their media coverage. “He did not understand that I did not like it when he bought the newspapers to see if we were talking about him. We lived together during the filming”, clarified the half-sister of Lou Doillon. And to add: “It was complicated. I love my father more than anything, but I had such a hard time making a life for myself.” On a daily basis, Serge Gainsbourg was not always easy to live with to believe his words. Wanting to preserve herself from her torments, the main interested party was constantly on the alert: “He was constantly drunk, it’s hard to live for a child. In public, it was difficult. I turned into a cop on the set, I watched for deviations”, thus concluded the artist who later knew how to forgive him.
