The first film written and directed by iconic French singer and songwriter Serge Gainsbourg.
I Love You, I Don’t is a love triangle that begins when a lonely truck-stop waitress (Jane Birkin, Gainsbourg’s then-partner) falls for a hunky garbage collector (American cult actor and Warhol sex symbol Joe Dallesandro), making her boyfriend jealous.
The movie shares its title with that of a sexually-explicit 1969 pop hit by Gainsbourg and Birkin. With Gérard Depardieu.
"Gainsbourg, like Prince after him, came from music to filmmaking with a strong cinematic sense...he doesn't put a foot wrong. "
