Pop incarnate and ferocious political farce, the cult film
Mister Freedom, directed in 1969 by American
photographer William Klein, enjoys a highly colourful
musical score, concocted by winning duo Serge
Gainsbourg/ Michel Colombier. In line with the film's
ironic undertones, the two musicians opt for a series
of pastiches, shamelessly manhandling the Marseillaise,
American marches and improbable hymns, unleashing
a causticity and ferocity that would pave the way for
future great pop and parodic soundtracks from the
Jean Yanne/Michel Magne tandem. ("Tout le monde
il est beau, tout le monde il est gentil", "Moi y'en a
vouloir des sous "). It''s all about humour, and the
themes touched upon evoke a caricatured vision of
America, deformed under the prism of a ferocious
anticapitalist satire.
The breaking point in this exquisite sixties object: the
famous jerk îNo no yes yes" which takes Mister
Freedom onto the delights of the dance floor and gives
an incredible funk beat to this joyful contestation.
Perfectly capturing the colours of Klein's universe,
Gainsbourg and Columbier have succeeded in creating
a delectable EP, a heady mix of Pop, Art, Comic strip
and counterculture.
Produced from the original master tapes.
