Sinopse
Canadian concert pianist Glenn Gould enjoys a respite at his lakeside cottage.

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.

Filho de judeus russos, Lucien Ginsburg passa a infância na Paris dos anos 1940, ocupada pelos nazistas. Quando jovem, é um poeta tímido que oculta suas pinturas no quarto, logo abandonado em troca da agitação dos cabarés dos anos 60. De noite em noite, dá vazão a sua voz e a seu talento de vanguarda, que o transformam no ícone subversivo Serge Gainsbourg, um dos mais importantes cantores e poetas da língua francesa. Enquanto as criaturas que habitam seu mundo dançam de forma imaginária em seu entorno, sua verve encontra eco na vida boêmia e nos amores tumultuados que tem ao longo da vida.

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.
