Notes
Pop incarnate and ferocious
political farce, the
cult film Mister Freedom,
directed in 1969
by American photographer
William Klein,
enjoys a highly colourful
musical score, concocted
by winning duo
Serge Gainsbourg/
Michel Colombier.
In line with the
film's ironic undertones,
the two musicians opt for
a series of pastiches,
shamelessly manhandling
the Marseillaise,
American marches and
improbable hymns,
unleashing a causticity
and ferocity that would
pave the way for future
great pop and parodic
soundtracks from the
Jean Yanne/Michel
Magne tandem. ("Tout
le monde il est beau,
tout le monde il est gentil",
"Moi y'en a vouloir
des sous "). It''s all
about humour, and the
themes touched upon
evoke a caricatured vision
of America, deformed
under the prism
of a ferocious anticapitalist
satire. The
breaking point in this
exquisite sixties object:
the famous jerk ŒNo no
yes yes" which takes
Mister Freedom onto
the delights of the
dance floor and gives
an incredible funk beat
to this joyful contestation.
Perfectly capturing
the colours of Klein's
universe, Gainsbourg
and Columbier have
succeeded in creating a
delectable EP, a heady
mix of Pop, Art, Comic
strip and counterculture.
Produced from the original master tapes!
Packaging & Liner Notes
