Nobody Else But You (2011)

Save your money for something good and enjoyable

People are voting emotionally.

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

I am writing this the day after watching it, and I am finding that it has left a pleasant aftertaste in my mind, so I'm upping my initial rating. For some unknown reason, only the French can make movies like this one without coming off as pretentious or too arty. If some brief male frontal nudity bothers you, best to skip this movie. The first two thirds are slow to build but compelling, charming in some ways, and very well-filmed in a lovely part of France in the winter. After that point it overplays the Marilyn Monroe parallels in a pretty heavy-handed way; however, just when I thought it was going to go down the tubes, it pulls back from the edge, avoids getting too mystical, and ends in a satisfying manner. In the end, a really nice, delicate French treat.

Well made film wacky funny somewhat surreal mystery of the death of a Marilyn Monroe reincarnation doomed to suffer a similar fate.I love these crazy kind of movies this one was a pleasant surprise from Netflix streaming.It is basically a comedy and had to be written by an American or an americanphile Frenchman. All the little details like Jiminey Cricket.You just have to watch this thing.Oh and there is a decent gay character. Rare.You will enjoy this I think.RECOMMEND

David Rousseau is a crime mystery writer driving through a small town in France when he happens upon an ambulance loading a body into the back. Candice Lecoeur, a semi famous model has been found dead in the snow of an apparent suicide. Rousseau becomes obsessed with the death which closely parallels the life of Marilyn Monroe. With the premise of writing a new novel, he investigates the circumstances and final days of Lecoeur's life. He befriends a local detective and they team up to solve the possibility of a crime.Through a series of flashbacks, Lecoeur's life is examined using diaries she had written from her teens to present day. This is a top notch mystery thriller with excellent performances by the two leads, Jean-Paul Rouve as Rosseau and Sophie Quinton as Lecoeur. It is heart breaking at times but well worth your time, an 8/10.

A writer visits his home town in the French Jura, the coldest part of the country, and finds inspiration for his new book.He comes across a sad event in the town: the young beauty of the county has been found dead. She was keeping a diary and he finds it. Model and actress, very attractive, she has found regional fame. Happiness is hard to pursue however, as she has a very low self esteem of herself as Marilyn may have had of Norma Jean Baker. The story unrolls among parallel fates and surprises, and offers a key to the death of Marilyn.Among frozen sceneries, amazing things happen in this small town. You do not need to live in Los Angeles or Paris for meeting excitement, hope and disillusion.Well acted, worth seeing, small unpretentious film with high interest.
