SERGE GAINSBOURG: FRANCE'S SECRET VICE (1992)

From my good buddy Monsewer Brian Horrorwitz at Trash Palace by way of his video archivist pal Shabby comes this interesting and entertaining 1992 documentary on Serge Gainsbourg. Interesting because it's one of the very few docs done on Gainsbourg in the English language. Unfortunately there are some video glitches throughout but they aren't horribly obtrusive. Like Horrorwitz I too wish they'd have focused a bit more on his music and less on his shenanigans but considering they had quite a bit of ground to cover in only 25 minutes we can forgive them. Amusez-vous!
