So goes the tale of the delicate and angelic Charlotte Gainsbourg, an accomplished actress and vocalist whose trajectory keeps rising and rising. Collaborating with French super-duo Air, Pulp frontman Jarvis Cocker and singer-songwriter Neil Harmon, Gainsbourg released 5:55 last year to a flurry of good press. It's not accidental that ...
