David Rousseau (Jean-Paul Rouve) is a successful mystery writer who’s come to the coldest place in France for the reading of his uncle’s will. The 400-mile drive seems at first to have been in vain as his only inheritance is a stuffed dog named Toby, but when a beautiful blonde is discovered dead in the snow, Rousseau finds a more compelling reason to stay in town. Candice Lecoeur (Sophie Quinton) was a local celebrity who dreamed of bigger things but found her greatest success as a frequently nude spokesmodel for a popular cheese company. Her death sparks Rousseau’s curiosity with the hope that it might also help him break through his writer’s block, and as he reads her journals the film flashes back to reveal a woman in flux. Lecoeur modeled the last few years of her life on an infamous blonde bombshell with whom she felt great affinity, and...

Title: Nobody Else But You Director: Gerald Hustache-Mathieu Starring: Jean-Paul Rouve, Sophie Quinton, Guillaume Gouix, Arsinee Khanjian, Olivier Rabourdin, Clara Ponsot Quirky but never false, French import “Nobody Else But You,” from writer-director Gerald Hustache-Mathieu, is a terrifically involving murder mystery that invests in psychological parallelism, and a kind of dark, fated bond between victim and investigator. Traversing pulpy territory, but largely with a tenderness and intelligence matched only by its crisp characterizations, the film’s droll grip loosens in the third act, under the weight of some metaphorical highlighting, but there’s still plenty of enjoy here for arthouse and mystery fans alike. Beset by writer’s block, Parisian crime novelist David [ Read More ]...

Even though she died nearly 50 years ago, Marilyn Monroe still holds a fascination for many film and conspiracy theory lovers. Director and co-screenwriter Gérald Hustache-Mathieu's film Nobody Else but You is a relatively light neo-noir thriller, with rather bizarre twists and a strange semblance to the life of the famous dead American blonde movie star. Combining mystery, noir, sex and more than a little French eccentricity and joie de vivre, the film, with general success, puts obsession under a microscope David (Jean-Paul Rouve) is a crime writer, come to a small town in the coldest part of France to collect an inheritance from an estranged uncle. He stumbles upon the recent mourning of the death of Candice (Sophie Quinton), a local celebrity, whose...

Wider aspirations dominate proceedings in Gerald Hustache-Mathieu’s frothy thriller, Nobody Else But You, both in the filmmaking and the story itself.
Nobody Else But You focuses on a recently deceased character, local pin-up turned weather girl and cheese mascot Martine Langevin (Sophie Quinton). Martine adopts the stage name Candice Lecoeur, following her ‘discovery’ at a petrol station, where she works, by a photographer. Her aspirations look beyond the small town life that at first seems set out for her and she quickly becomes a celebrity, but significantly only in her home town of Mouthe.
Narrated from the grave and through her diaries, Candice’s intriguing story is slowly uncovered by amateur sleuth and fiction writer David Rousseau (Jean-Paul Rouve) who becomes fascinated by the mystery surrounding her death.
Although originally only visiting the town, to collect on the will of a recently deceased relative, Rousseau decides to stay and...

Poupoupidou (Nobody Else But You)
Director: Gérald Hustache-Mathieu
Screenplay by Juliette Sales and Gérald Hustache-Mathieu
In French with English subtitles
How much do you really know about cinema’s most famous blonde? Director Gérald Hustache-Mathieu’s Poupoupidou isn’t a biopic of Marilyn Monroe, but certain details about the life and death of Martine Lingevin, aka Candice Lecoeur, aka cheese poster girl “Belle de Jura” may seem very familiar.
That title is a reference to “I Wanna Be Loved by You”, Marilyn’s famous number from Some Like It Hot. The opening credits seem to be taking their cue from Bert Stern’s Vogue photos – diaphanous top, nipple, bare flesh. It’s just the tip of the iceberg for cinephiles – an appropriate metaphor for a movie set in a snowbound town in Eastern France.
Poupoupidou is one of those films in which the two leading characters never meet because one of them is already dead.

NEW YORK -- This latest entry in the durable medical thriller genre is an ultimately underwhelming exercise that boasts more style than substance.
The directorial debut of French screenwriter Gilles Marchand, "Who Killed Bambi?" effectively creates a menacing atmosphere within the gleaming white halls of the hospital in which it is set, but its story line and characterizations lack the sufficient originality to lift the film above its many better predecessors. It is currently being shown as part of the "Rendez-vous With French Cinema 2004" series at New York's Walter Reade Theater.
The title refers to the plucky central character Isabelle (Sophie Quinton), a new student nurse in the surgical unit of a large hospital. The handsome surgeon Dr. Philippe (Laurent Lucas) gives the nickname to her after she displays the odd habit of passing out right in front of him.
Puzzled by this strange physical phenomenon, Isabelle becomes suspicious of the doctor, who, as she and we soon learn, has the disturbing habit of fondling the nude bodies of his unconscious female patients. It isn't long before Isabelle begins to suspect him of even more nefarious deeds and the proverbial deadly game of cat and mouse ensues.
Marchand, the co-screenwriter of such acclaimed efforts as "Human Resources" and "With a Friend Like Harry" (the latter's director, Dominik Moll, is credited here as "technical consultant"), has unfortunately failed to infuse the proceedings with a depth or originality comparable to those efforts, with the result that the most memorable aspect of this film is its pristine visuals (the superb widescreen cinematography is by Pierre Milon).
The arrogant Dr. Philippe is such an obvious bad guy from the start that little suspense is generated; even more damagingly, his villainy, as personified by Lucas' one-dimensional performance, is tedious. Nor is Isabelle, despite her big doe eyes, a compelling heroine, and the supporting characters, including her loving boyfriend and older nurse cousin, are even less interesting.
Too often the director, clearly eager to impress, tries to ratchet up the suspense with the usual tricks of sudden noises or appearances, to little avail. Ultimately, the most original aspect of "Who Killed Bambi?" is its provocative title.
