Slogan (French Title: L'amour et l'amour) is a 1969 French satirical romantic drama film written and directed by Pierre Grimblat. It stars Serge Gainsbourg and Jane Birkin in their first film together. The film marked the beginning of the 13-year relationship between Gainsbourg and Birkin.[1][2]

Plot

Serge Fabergé (Gainsbourg) is a 40-year-old director who leaves his pregnant wife (Parisy) to attend an advertising award festival in Venice. There he meets Evelyne (Birkin), a young British woman, and initiates an affair. Evelyne eventually leaves him for another man.

Production

Grimblat initially wanted American actress Marisa Berenson to play the role of Evelyne, but decided on a British actress instead.[3]

The filming of Slogan was temporary delayed due to the 1968 riots in France.[4]
