As we mourn her passing and celebrate her impressive career, Vogue charts JaneBirkin's 10 best moments in the creative sphere that kicked off her fame: film.
Gainsbourg was evidently fond of this title – his 1969 “Je t’aime” duet with Birkin was wildly controversial, and popular – and seven years later, he re-used the words for his directorial debut. Much like in the lovers’ tune, Birkin is at the forefront of the film, but this time she’s swapped her signature lengthy locks for a choppy boy-cut.
She plays the innocent diner waitress who becomes caught in an all-consuming love triangle of death-defying passion and sheer eroticism. The sex is uncensored, to say the least and if the film title is an indicator of anything, it’s the constant contradictions inherent in relationships: “I love you… I don’t.” For it, Birkin received a César Award nomination for Best Actress.
