3. Watching it now - it's really well done

The director takes a nice liberty by making 'Gainsbarre,' his alter-ego, into a character (albeit only seen by Gainsbourg)

The actress who played Birkin committed suicide sadly before the movie came out - and she nailed the role

2. No but I have seen a documentary about Jane Birkin

Lot's of Serge in there of course. Might be interesting to see the rest of the story.
