(Claude Berri, who usually participates in films by directing them, here returns to the screen as an over-the-hill lothario, much given to quoting Shakespeare, who occasionally goes around naked under his raincoat and exposes himself to strangers, who are usually not interested in his primitive display of genitalia. It also appears that he is unable to sexually satisfy his much younger lover, and he suspects her of having another boyfriend. He earns his living tutoring students (mostly young girls) in English literature. When, in his frustration, he gropes one of the girls in her home during a tutoring session, she protests, her father (who is at home) beats him up, and he is sentenced to a jail term. There, he is teamed up with a slightly loopy murderer. When he gets out of jail, he finds his girlfriend has left for good, and ends his life.)

An anthology of the filmed songs of Serge Gainsbourg in a double DVD set. Musician, songwriter, performer, painter, writer, director, brilliant tunesmith and lyrical genius, he had a gift for wielding words with bitter humour. Long disparaged and admired, but constantly in the forefront of the music scene, his work was inspired by a wild, romantic creativity. He left us a terribly-diverse repertoire adored by generations of fan.
All the songs are full versions presented chronologically by decade. Painstaking restoration work on the pictures and sound was carried out using the latest digital techniques, enabling us to hear Gainsbourg's extraordinary repertoire again in ideal conditions, in Dolby Digital 5.1 and DTS.
