Subscribe http://bit.ly/InaParisVintage Central Variétés | ORTF | 10/12/1965 Followed by a camera during his wanderings through Paris, Serge Gainsbourg talks, always off-camera, about his occupations: since he doesn't have office hours, he never considers himself truly free. He strolls on the Pont des Arts and along the Seine. He explains how he composes. He painted for fifteen years. He talks about his Russian refugee father who taught him to play the piano. France Gall comes to see him to bring him the sheet music for "Poupée de cire poupée de son" in Japanese. She sings a few bars of the song a cappella. In a bookstore, he asks for a biography of the Marquis de Sade. He explains what the success of "Poupée de cire poupée de son" means: "45 million"!
