BBC RADIO 4 BOOK OF THE WEEK 18-22nd FEBRUARY 2019
Marking the 50th anniversary of the legendary banned song "Je t'aime. moi non plus," Véronique Mortaigne's brilliantly written book skillfully identifies the pairing of Gainsbourg and Birkin as an expression of the spirit of the age.
Synonymous with love, eroticism, glamour, music, provocation, their affair would set France aflame as the sixties ebbed, and set in motion many of the ideas we have by now come to think of as specifically French.
Skipping back and forth in time, "Je t'aime" takes the reader from the foggy Normandy landscapes where Serge and Jane retreated, to their carefree summers on the coast. En route to their superstardom in films and music, we experience their intrigues, triangular relationships, and jealous rages, the genius and the self-torture.
Tenderly told, via new interviews with key players in their story, "Je t'aime" details the coming together of two massive personalities, who together created a model of the rebel couple for the ages.
