After their magnetic pairing in Pierre Grimblat’s Slogan, Gainsbourg and Birkin appear in Melody, a series of interwoven video vignettes set to Serge Gainsbourg’s 1971 album. Director Roger Averty layers video filters, overlays, camera moves and chroma‑key effects that sync with songs chronicling an older man’s affair with a young girl. Alan Parker’s buzzing guitar, fat bass, steady drums and occasional strings give the short a sultry, glossy feel.
