While I was looking for old pictures from past Cannes Festivals I came across lots of great shots of the lovely British actress and singer Jane Birkin with her longtime partner, French singer and songwriter Serge Gainsbourg (who also acted and directed on occasion). I couldn’t resist sharing a few of the photos here.

Jane Birkin is still recording music and making movies. She has also started directing and this week her first full-length feature film made it’s debut at the Cannes 60th Festival. Her film is called Boxes (2007) and it’s being shown out of competition. Besides directing the film, Birkin also stars in it along with veteran British actor John Hurt, the American actress Geraldine Chaplin and France’s wonderful Annie Girardot. Boxes has received mixed reviews, but it’s wonderful to see that Jane Birkin is still active and creative at age 60. She’s also still incredibly lovely!
For more information about Jane and her new movie Boxes visit her official website:
These are really fantastic…thanks for posting. I love these two so much. Mixed reviews or not, I can’t wait to see “Boxes”.
Thanks again for these great photos…

Thanks for posting that. Awesome photos of Jane. She’s so beautiful. I think she’s a good actress and has a beautiful voice.

Thanks for the feedback Jeremy & Keith! I’m glad you both enjoyed the photos. I’m looking forward to seeing Boxes whenever it opens in the US.

Great photos of these two. I recently watched their lovely daughter Charlotte in a wonderful film, The Science Of Sleep. She is a very talented actress.
