has been compared to her father Serge and mom Jane Birkin all her life, she says. Now, in directorial debut “Jane by Charlotte,” she comes back to the subject on her own terms. Shown at Ji.hlava Intl. Film Festival following its Cannes premiere, the film is sold internationally by The Party Film Sales.
London-born Birkin began her career as an actress, appearing in Michelangelo Antonioni’s “Blow-Up.” After the infamous duet “Je t’aime… moi non plus,” she has continued to perform, releasing “Birkin/Gainsbourg: Le Symphonique” in 2017. In her film, Gainsbourg decided to focus on her mother’s present, however, not her past.
“I started with very direct questions: ‘I feel that you don’t treat my sisters the same way you treat me. How come?’ I just wanted to have an honest discussion and she immediately took it the wrong way. She said: ‘I don’t want to suffer,’ ” recounts the actor. “I told her that I did this for her, but she responded: ‘No, it’s a film about us.’ People say this film touches them because it addresses every mother and daughter, their relationship which can be so strange sometimes. This letter I read to her at the end, it’s a declaration of love. I couldn’t have said these words face to face.”
