Serge Gainsbourg is remembered on screen for work that changed what came after it.
The record lists Serge Gainsbourg as French singer, songwriter, composer, writer, actor and director (1928–1991).
Serge Gainsbourg was born at 4th arrondissement of Paris in 1928. His recorded nationality is France. He trained at Lycée Condorcet and École Normale de Musique de Paris Alfred Cortot.
This generation broke the studio mould - lighter cameras, location shooting, and directors who claimed authorship of the finished film.
The record gives his roles in the industry as actor, composer and film director.
A film outlives its reviews, its budget and usually its studio; what remains is whether anyone still watches it.
The awards record reads: César Award for Best Music Written for a Film (1996).
That the work was made from France shaped it: national industries differ in what they finance, who they cast and which audiences they can reach.
Serge Gainsbourg died in 1991, aged 63. The films remain, which is the only form in which a screen career survives.
