From the 2000 French minseries The Blue Bicycle (La Bicyclette Bleue), Laetitia Casta emerges from a country lane on her titular two-wheeler. A decade later, the model and actress was nominated for a Cesar for her performance as Brigitte Bardot in the biopic Gainsbourg (Vie heroique), about singer, chainsmoker and cultural  icon Serge Gainsbourg.
