Slogan

 

Pierre Grimblat, brokenhearted, just couldn’t get over an intense love affair that had gone amiss years ago and worse, just couldn’t get it out of his head. In shambles, he had told François Truffaut all about his obsession with this failing. “If you want to put this story behind you, you’ve got to make a movie of it” said Truffaut. Grimblat got down to it right away. Creation can transform suffering into an artwork. And it can even give rise to another story: it’s while shooting Slogan that Serge Gainsbourg met Jane Birkin.
