Jean Gabin Mosieur

Un portrait de l'acteur J. Gabin (1904-1976), à travers quinze moments clés de sa vie, de son enfance durant la Première Guerre mondiale à ses débuts mouvementés avec J. Audiard. …

Dans la famille théâtrale ou cinématographique, demandez un nom, n'importe lequel, et il a toutes les chances de figurer dans l'autobiographie de Jean-Claude Brialy.
À l'aise partout, élégant et pudique, il a rencontré tous les cinéastes, comédiens et acteurs qui ont compté depuis les années cinquante. Brialy ne se met pas en valeur mais ses admirations sont contagieuses. Il fait briller ceux et celles qui l'émerveillent. …

The original Gabin - a French actor known for his portrayals of jaded, faded anti-heroes in 1930s and '40s-era films - might have chuckled ironically if he had been told that, a half-century after his heyday, two Italian musicians would name a fledgling lounge music project after him. But if he had listened to the music, he would have understood. It's full of languid grace and melancholy and is undeniably stylish - exactly what you'd expect to hear in a Parisian café or supper club. Just to add to the effect, many of the song titles and lyrics are in French.
