She is the daughter of English-French actress and singer Jane Birkin and French singer and actor Serge Gainsbourg. She has acted in many films, including collaborations with Lars von Trier, and received two César Awards and Cannes Film Festival's Best Actress Award 2009 for the movie Antichrist, among many nominations. |
Movies
B%che, La

The epitome of leather-jacketed French cool, Gainsbourg demonstrates in 3 extended scenes that she can do it all with style -- pro lightups, voracious drags and inhales, thick exhales (one in the direction of a male companion), expert dangles from the corner of her mouth as she talks or pours herself a shot of liquor. The piece de resistance comes in a shot in which she exhales a couple of creamy, slow streams from her nostrils while dangling. |
I'm Not There

Cate Blanchett smokes like a chimney throughout her gender-bending stint as a Bob Dylan-inspired character in this very strange movie. Her impression of Dylan is hit and miss, but she definitely studied his smoking mannerisms. Michelle Williams, as an Edie Sedgwick-inspired character, is seen briefly on the cover of a magazine dangling what appears to be a small cigar or brown cigarette. At one point, the cover becomes animated and she takes a nice drag and inhales slowly, then freezes back into position with cigarette dangling in her mouth. Definitely the smoking highlight of the movie, a must-see for Michelle Williams fans. Another unknown actress (Jennifer Rae Westley?) plays a girlfriend/groupie to Blanchett's character and has several decent smoking scenes. Overall, an abysmal movie but worth seeing for the smoking. |
Love, etc.

In the only scene worth mentioning, she takes a cigarette from a friend while walking and talking outdoors, has two lusty drags with exhales, then hands it off to another friend as the scene ends.% Based on the sharing, it might be a joint, but she handles it and smokes it like a regular cigarette, so I think the sharing is just to underscore the friendship among the three. In later scenes, she has another drag filmed from some distance, and dangles in a very dimly lit scene on a windy beach. |
The Cement Garden

Two scenes: first is a good one where she lights up a cork-tip and takes a drag or two, then mostly holds. The second is a long shot of her smoking in the sitting room; you have to look carefully to notice it. The first scene is surrounded by two slightly macabre scenes involving a body -- be sure you know what the movie's about before viewing. |
