Overview

The film-directing debut of the cult French musician Serge Gainsbourg, Je T'aime, Moi Non Plus presents a rough-hewn, intentionally trashy look at the relationship of two extremely unlikely lovers. Krassky, a garbage-truck driver known to his friends as "Greasy," meets Johnny, a young, tomboyish waitress at an out-of-the-way diner. Despite the vehement disapproval of her boss Boris, a boorish, abusive homophobe, Johnny finds herself increasingly attracted to the gay Krassky. Surprisingly, Krassky reciprocates her interest, and the two embark on an exploration of the sleazy world of amateur striptease, roller derby, and brutal sex. This happiness is disrupted, however, by the violent intervention of Padovan, Krassky's jealous former lover. Though clearly an attempt to mimic the Andy Warhol-Paul Morrissey school of trash cinema, as indicated by the casting of Warhol regular Joe Dallesandro as Krassky, the film is generally considered an unsuccessful, indulgent exercise. However, the film may remain of interest for curiosity-seeking fans of the notoriously controversial Gainsbourg, who also provided the soundtrack (including the title song) and cast his love at the time, young actress Jane Birkin, in the central role of Johnny.
