Joe and Jane in Serge Gainsbourg's 70's Drama


In Serge Gainsbourg's 1976 controversial drama 'Je taime moi non plus' Jane Birkin
plays the part of Johnny, a lonely and bored waitress in a truck driver's cafe.
Then suddenly things pick up when Joe Dallesandro walks in believing that the
androgynous Jane is a boy working behind the bar. But the two hit it off straight away,
to the displeasure of Joe's truck driving partner.

The film's song title by Serge Gainsbourg became a huge hit in the U.K in 1969
when it was banned by the BBC. And as always, once the BBC bans something,
it's success is assured.
In 2019 the film got a well deserved digital upgrade and was transferred to 4K with
improved sound quality.
