The only scores I like by him are his Connery-era Bond scores, The Ipcress File, and The Knack. I find his music overall to be boring. There must be 50 film/TV composers I prefer over Barry. Now, if you want to talk about someone worthwhile that Jane Birkin was married to, you should be talking about The Great SERGE GAINSBOURG.

Teasing the Korean Posted July 17, 2023 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2023 I had first seen Blow-Up because of Herbie Hancock and Yardbirds involvement. It quickly became a favorite film for other reasons. I don't think I was aware of Jane Birkin during the first few viewings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clifford_thornton Posted July 17, 2023 Report Share Posted July 17, 2023 Blow-Up is awesome. I'd completely forgotten that Birkin is in it! RIP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Birkin is memorable, but not in the center of the film. Amazing you saw her in person - on the street! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trane123 Posted July 21, 2023 Report Share Posted July 21, 2023 About 10 years ago I picked up a copy of “Melody Nelson”, mostly because I was always kind of curious about it. I found that I really liked it, which led to me going down the Serge G./Jane B. rabbit hole for a while. The first obits that I read seemed to hardly mention Jane’s music – it seemed all about being a French cultural icon and a “Birkin Bag”. Not a lot about her music, which I quite liked. She may have started as Serge’s muse/sex kitten, but her recorded music got more substantial as she aged. There’s some really good stuff in there – especially from the 90’s on.
