Catherine Deneuve is one of my favorites...such a classy actress, beautiful woman.
She sang so beautifully in the film "8 Women" that I was looking forward to an entire album of her singing. Unfortunately Deneuve's voice (which is weak, but not that bad) is torpedoed by the mess that was the 80s. This cheesy collection of pseudo-disco pop songs have the WORST arrangements and reminded me of nothing else but the debacle that was "The Ethel Merman Disco Album."

The results are so poor that it doesn't even make for good camp entertainment. And if I needed any further proof that the French cheese was going to get any riper, La Deneuve sings two songs with Mr. Emmanuel himself, Serge Gainsbourg, a man whose reputation and talent have always eluded me.
Get the CD for the rarity that it is, but if you really are a fan of Deneuve, don't listen to it, just stare at the cover.

I LOVE CATHERINE DENEUVE, HOWEVER, THIS IS FOR PEOPLE WHO HAVE A SWORN LOVE FOR DISCO. THE SOUND
IS VERY EURO POP AND AT THE HEIGHT OF DISCO IT WOULD HAVE BEEN CONSIDERED NOT SO GREAT THEN.
LET'S GIVE CREDIT TO MS. DENEUVE FOR BRANCHING OUT AND TRYING SOMETHING NEW. GOD BLESS HER.
MAYBE, IF IT WAS SUPER DUBBED AND SHE HAD A USA DISCO WIZARD TO HELP HER, THINGS WOULD HAVE
BEEN DIFFERENT. INSTEAD MADONNA TOOK THAT PATH AND LOOK WHAT IT'S DONE FOR HER. I LOVE THE
NEW LOUIS VOUITTON ADS CATHERINE IS IN. ADD THIS TO YOUR COLLECTION, I'M SURE THIS IS A COLLECTABLE.
She is also on Malcolm Mclaren's Paris album. It's not disco, But she sounds even better there.
Someone said she is also on the "Potiche" soundtrack, a french movie that also stars Ms. Deneuve.
This isn't my favorite Catherine, But I love her in many of her other
projects.
