Featuring a journey through legendary rock band The Ramones in End of the Century (2003), an inventive biopic on the provocative French icon Gainsbourg: A Heroic Life (2010), the revelatory music doc Searching for Sugarman (2012), the psychologically introspective The Devil and Daniel Johnston (2005), and the Paul Thomas Anderson, Indian-set documentary Junun (2015)! Finally, we’re thrilled to include The Needle (1988) starring the underknown Russian rock star that inspired Leto’s main character.
GAINSBOURG: A HEROIC LIFE (2010)
A fantastical tribute to the iconic musician, this playful portrait takes us on Serge Gainsbourg’s journey from Occupied France to Jamaica, and, in all of the years between, his infamous relationships with Bambou, Brigitte Bardot, and Jane Birkin. Winner of the César Award for Best First Feature Film.
