The documents gathered in this DVD, including the beautiful portrait by Roger Sciandra, have one thing in common: they give a central place to Serge Gainsbourg's Parisian mansion: the famous 5 bis rue de Verneuil. An unprecedented, intimate approach to the mythical artist. Roger Sciandra's documentary literally transports us to Serge Gainsbourg's home, one day in 1973. Time is suspended, the conversation takes place in the living room, then the library, interspersed with moments from life and some of Gainsbourg's last songs. An angel passes by, then Jane, with whom he shares his life at the time... And Gainsbourg reveals himself in small ways. But the house is the real character of the film. And Gainsbourg, as master of the premises, leads the stripping in a long sequence shot: first the living room, populated with unusual objects, the bedroom, the corridor, the bathroom, then finally the artist's lair, the library.
DVD documentary (90 min) + Bonus features:
-Jane Birkin and Serge Gainsbourg at home (1972) 14 min
-A day with Serge Gainsbourg and his children (1979) 8 min. 41
20-page booklet with numerous photos and transcripts of Serge Gainsbourg radio interviews.
