When French film star Charlotte Gainsbourg was 15, she famously had her first nude scene in the 1986 film Charlotte for Ever. But don’t worry, it wasn’t at all creepy—in fact, her dad was there. The film, written and directed by Père Gainsbourg after his 1980 divorce from Charlotte’s mother, the model Jane Birkin, tells the story of a screenwriter (played by Serge) who turns to his teenage daughter for affection after his wife dies. Catch a rare screening today along with another early Charlotte classic, Claude Miller’s L’effrontée (1985), about a bored teenager whose introduction to a young pianist opens up her world. Oh, and if you’d like to see where Charlotte got all her good looks, you can catch Birkin in concert at FIAF on February 11 and 12. ‘Charlotte for Ever’ at 12:30 and 7:30, ‘L’effrontée’ at 4
