Chronological look at the life and career of Johnny Carson (1925-2005), with commentary from an ex-wife and more than 30 fellow comedians, friends, employees, and biographers. The biography defines why Carson was an enduring star (his cool, his timing, his genuine laugh, his breadth of knowledge) and pursues his motivations and inner self (a loner with a drinking problem, a decent Midwesterner whose mother withheld approval, a quiet person who loved to entertain). The key to understanding him, argues the biography, is his love of magic.

Serge Gainsbourg, hoy un icono francés, fue cantante, escritor, compositor y pintor, pero mayormente durante casi todo el tiempo fue un infatigable provocador, un tipo de impredecible comportamiento en su vida pública. Ya de crío Serge era un niño judío que fanfarronea por las calles de un París bajo la ocupación alemana; y luego un joven y tímido poeta que abandona su pintura y su habitación para dejarse embaucar por los cabarés de transformistas de los años 60. Esta es una "vida heroica" donde las criaturas de la mente se plasman en la pantalla y la elocuencia se conjuga con los escándalos amorosos. Así nace una obra subversiva, con un ciudadano leal y rebelde como protagonista que hará vibrar al mundo entero.

You could be forgiven for mistaking Charlie Siem for James Bond. Whether he's driving an orange Porsche to his cliff-top Monaco mansion, ordering martinis or looking suave in a designer suit, he is a man on a mission. It isn't to hunt down SPECTRE, but to find perfection in everything he does. Whether it's performing on stage, recording albums, or selecting a suit, Charlie demands the best, of himself and others. Despite an entourage dubbed ‘Charlie's Angels', he's lonesome, and complains that people can't relate to him. Danish filmmaker Eva Mulvad, with patience and panache, delves into this life of privilege to find commonalities of ambition and desire.
