Slogan (1969)


Royal Films International
Directed by Pierre Grimblat
My rating: 1.5 stars out of 4
IMDb Wikipedia
(DVD, Cult Epics)

Serge Gainsbourg makes award winning commercials but dreams of making his own film. While at an awards festival in Venice, he meets model Jane Birkin and they begin an intense affair. They drive around Paris making eyes at each other while pop music plays. She occasionally speaks in very bad French. His wife announces she is pregnant, but is fully aware of his fling with Birkin. They contemplate a divorce. Birkin tires of Gainsbourg and falls for a young Venice gondola driver. There is a messy breakup. Very dated and boring film only remembered today for the real life romance between the two stars.
