Resume
Jane Birkin has built a unique bond with France. Between French people and this daring little English girl, it was love at first sight. And this love story has been going on for more than 50 years. She was successively the muse of Serge Gainsbourg, Patrice Chéreau and Jacques Doillon and became simply known as “Jane B.”.
Carried by an exclusive interview with Jane Birkin, the documentary film Jane Birkin and Us unfolds the life and career of a unique artist, who holds a special place in the French musical and cinematographic landscape… and in our hearts. The intimate portrait of a free woman.
