From Monday to Friday in Media Culture, Eva Roque gives you her TV tips for the evening.
This Tuesday, she offers us the viewing of the documentaries "Gainsbourg, a whole life" and "Serge Gainsbourg: the punchliner" on the occasion of the special day dedicated by Europe 1 to the singer.
Eva Roque is the special Serge Gainsbourg day on Europe 1 this Tuesday.
But is it still present on our screens?
"Oh yes! Last week you mentioned the beautiful documentary 'Gainsbourg, a whole life'. It is still available in replay on France.tv. On the platform, you will also find a five-minute pastille entitled '10 unusual infos' : 10 biographical elements illustrated by some archives Gainsbourg speaks for example of painting which was his first art.
She brought him fame and money as recounted in the documentary 'Gainsbourg, the punchliner' available on MyCanal.
This documentary is signed Stéphane Basset.
This one endeavors to draw the portrait of a man who liked the words and to juggle with them.
The archives are pretty amazing, some of them have rarely been seen.
They are commented on by journalists and artists - from Alex Baupain to Jacky, who was Gainsbourg's press attaché, via Sébastien Tellier who analyzes Gainsbourg's work with great accuracy and intelligence.
Finally, I recommend his concert at the Zénith recorded in 1988 and available on MyCanal.
It was his last Parisian scene, a legendary concert.
Gainsbourg roasts cigarette after cigarette, holds back his tears of emotion when the public resumes his hits in chorus, savoring the performance of the musicians around him, and calls Lulu.
Lulu, Lucien, his son.
He is two years old and tumbles onto the huge stage under the admiring gaze of his father.
Before starting a title dedicated to the little boy: 'Hey man amen'.
I also recommend the Youtube channel dedicated to Serge Gainsbourg, and the INA archives, some of which are available free of charge.
And don't forget, special programming throughout the day on Europe 1. "
