I love Charlotte Gainsbourg as I love his father, her notable career as a singer and actress on independent and under-the-radar movies like “Jane Eyre”, “21 Grams”, “The Science of Sleep” and “I’m Not There” (2007).
Charlotte Gainsbourg isn’t the typical French beauty like Brigitte Bardot. I enjoy her fragile and reserved attitude, with her slightly gawky, scrawny frame, she will never be thought of in that light. With her recently Cannes’ Best Actress award won, she is flirting with the mainstream and got enrolled in Lars von Trier’s controversial “Antichrist”. Co-starring Willem Dafoe, the film involves a tragedy that leads to violence. The film has divided moviegoers, who tend to be either intrigued or repelled by its extreme outrageousness – including graphic depictions of torture and self-mutilation.
In the upcoming V magazine #62, Charlotte Gainsbourg is featured in a short-story promoting the movie, describing her career and how she survived a near-death experience and spending several months of recovery following a waterskiing accident and subsequent brain surgery.
In the world of Fashion, Charlotte is also the namesake of the coveted Hermes handbag, and the muse of the upcoming Balenciaga fragrance campaign. Her second album “IRM” co-written and produced by Beck will coming out January 2010.
I’m still debating if I would watch the movie and will be able to go beyond the shocking stuff. Would need people to encourage me watching it.
