Entertainment Reviews:
Rating: 2/5 --
If there's one thing that Joann Sfar's Gainsbourg told me, it's that he smoked...a lot. And sometimes, he didn't shave for a few days... However, this was about all the insight provided by Sfar's competent effort.

CineVue
In conjoining Jewish heritage and classic French chanson, Gainsbourg celebrates the hybridity of contemporary French culture, while its combination of realist narrative and poetic animation make it both a touching biopic and an inspired musical.

It's a comic-strip version of one man's life and times, but it's tres cool.

In short, Gainsbourg: A Heroic Life is a charmer.

Philadelphia Inquirer
Eric Elmosnino excels in the lead role. Not only does he look like Serge, but he carries himself with the impassive majesty of a silent movie star...
Uncut
Eric Elmosnino's impersonation of Gainsbourg in his drink-sodden progress from struggling painter to cabaret performer to aging proto-punk is a highly impressive piece of work.

While the movie's on a roll, it's zesty, engaging and frisky.

Product Description:
Director Joann Sfar's biopic GAINSBOURG, VIE HÉROÏQUE recounts the colorful life story of French chanteur and provocateur Serge Gainsbourg, known as much for his hugely outrageous antics in public as he was for his taboo-busting, often-hilarious song lyrics and orchestrations. Eric Elmosino stars as the lead, while the late, tragic actress Lucy Gordon (SPIDER-MAN 3) co-stars as Gainsbourg's third wife, the actress-model Jane Birkin.
