Joli garçon | Digital Download Single

“Joli garcon” (Pretty boy) – the first song on Je dis oui! – is one of three original French songs written for the French-language film Souvenir by Thomas Lauderdale and Belgian filmmakers Bavo Defurne and Yves Verbraeken. Starring the legendary French film actress Isabelle Huppert, Souvenir tells the story of Liliane, a singer who lost to Abba in a European music competition in the mid-1970s, and who – now forgotten – works at a meat paté factory putting bay leaf and cranberry garnishes on the loaves of paté.  One day, Jean, a young ambitious boxer, comes to work at the factory.  As a romance unfolds between the two, Jean encourages Liliane to return to the stage for the first time in 30 years.
