In this great in-depth video interview for Amplified, ABC World News contributor Dan Harris sits down with Charlotte Gainsbourg, the daughter of legendary duo, Serge Gainsbourg and Jane Birkin. The singer and actress talks about her near-death experience leading to a collaboration with Beck on her new album, IRM (which was produced and mostly written by Beck), and also speaks candidly about her "daddy issues" saying it's extremely difficult for her to write her own songs because of who her father was and all that he accomplished.
Charlotte was originally asked by Joann Sfar to portray her father in Gainsbourg (vie héroïque) and after months of consideration, she backed out because she felt she'd be unable to emotionally go through with it. It certainly would've been interesting considering all the acclaim she's been receiving from her Cannes-winning performance in Lars Von Trier's Anti-Christ.
However, according to most critics, Éric Elmosnino is certainly proving that he wasn't such a bad second choice.
