Directed By: Joann Sfar

Nudometer:
Gainsbourg (Vie héroïque) (AKA Gainsbourg: A Heroic Life) tells the story of the famous singer and poet Serge Gainsbourg, from his childhood in Nazi-occupied Paris to his fame as a provocative icon of French music. The film mixes reality and fantasy, exploring his loves, obsessions, and the dark side of his character.
At the tenth minute, Ophélia Kolb poses naked for a group of art students. At the twenty-fifth minute, Deborah Grall sleeps naked next to a man. They are both in bed, lit by moonlight. The man argues with a strange character created by his imagination, while Deborah sleeps, unaware of anything. Among the deleted scenes from the film is an alternate version of this sequence, in which Deborah wakes up and slips her hand into the man’s pajama pants. At the sixty-fourth minute, Laetitia Casta is lying face down on the bed, her breasts partially covered by an arm. In the following scene, Laetitia Casta lies on her back, her breasts peeking out from under a sheet, then gets up and holds the sheet around her body while dancing to the rhythm of a melody that a man is playing on the piano. Laetitia sits on the piano and her breasts appear again. When the song is over, the actress sits on the man’s lap to kiss him. At the seventy-ninth minute, Lucy Gordon, wearing panties and a tank top, sings along with a man playing the piano. At the eighty-sixth minute, the two have sex in the bathtub.
