A natural, invigorating French womanliness
Camille Paglia, writing in Salon, contrasts the “empty, mechanical attitudinizing” of Sports Illustrated swimsuit models with Charlotte Gainsbourg singing in a “deliciously relaxed duet” with Etienne Daho:
“Here’s natural, invigorating French womanliness on display again in the supply expressive Gainsbourg. And despite the intermittent corniness of French pop, what an affectingly simple and evocative performance — a mature man and a sophisticated young woman exchanging meaningful glances and exploring a palette of authentic emotions.”
And here’s the video–you can judge for yourself. (This post is partly just an excuse to try posting a video.)
