6.5Although Gainsbourg and Birkin had appeared in a string of films since their magnetic collision in Pierre Grimblat’s Slogan, Melody was a bit of diversion from their collaborations since it’s a series of interwoven videos inspired by the Gainsbourgalbum. For '71 it’s a novel concept to bring visual life to an LP, but even more surprising are the short film’s amazing visuals that director Averty crafted using a wealth of video filters, overlays, camera movements and chroma key effects. Averty applies these in tandem with the increasing tone of Gainsbourg’s songs, which more or less chronicle an older man's affair with a young girl. Each song is comprised of steady, sometimes brooding poetic delivery, with refrains timed to the phrase repeats of each song, while Alan Parker’s buzzing guitar accompanies and wiggles around Gainsbourg’s resonant voice. The bass is fat and groovy, the drums easy but steady, and the periodic use of strings or rich vibrato makes this short a sultry little gem.

From the Caring About Our Community Series, produced by Gordon-Kerckhoff Productions. The film examines the presence and impact of sound in everyday life, from natural ambient sounds to the overwhelming barrage of artificial noise common in modern society. By drawing attention to the often unnoticed or ignored sounds around us, the film challenges viewers to reconsider their acoustic environment. Ultimately, it delivers a subtle but powerful critique of noise pollution, positioning it as a major yet overlooked environmental issue, and encourages greater awareness and responsibility in shaping a quieter, more mindful community.
