Jane Birkin saved by Serge Gainsbourg
Jane Birkin returned to this terrible tragedy in the documentary Jane Birkin and us. She confides in it: “I found that I no longer had the right to exist, that I had failed.” The order of things was therefore turned upside down: “Of what I saw, of what I felt, of what I was, it didn’t matter anymore.”explained the mother of Charlotte Gainsbourg and Lou Doillon. His relatives were present to support him and gave him unwavering support. “My sister-in-law was cute. She gave me a book and said to me: “You can write in it the things you would like to say to her”. But I wasn’t romantic enough for that”, reported Jane Birkin. But the ordeal remained far too painful: “I knew she was dead. There was nothing to say. Everything stopped like clockwork.“
Jane Birkin has managed to move forward with a challenging project. She explained in We are live on January 9, 2021: “I said nothing for 7 yearsI wrote nothing, I stopped my diary the day she died, because I found that I had nothing more to say… It was so amazing…” A project will finally succeed in carrying it for a few years: “I was saved by Serge, because I was able to do Serge’s texts with Michel Piccoli and Hervé Pierre in French theaters and as far away as Canada. A journalist that I really like had the idea of making a symphonic version. It carried me for two or three years.”
