Mockumentary/biopic


Brothers of the Head
Mockumentary based on the novel about conjoined twins who are sold to a man who then exploits them as rock stars Bang Bang. Beautifully filmed and soundtracked; definitely underappreciated.

I haven't seen her in anything since Jeux d'Enfants in 2004. Here's one of my favorite songs of hers, with Charles Aznavour, whose career she helped to launch. The video is a bit strange:
