Candice Lecoeur is a local beauty, gracing the famous "Belle de Jura" cheese packaging, who has gotten it into her head that she might well be the reincarnation of Marilyn Monroe. The two will meet in the coldest village in France, but only after Candice has been found dead. The case was closed before it even opened and the cause of death declared suicide by sleeping pills. Rousseau is the only one who doesn't buy it. Reality turns out to be stranger than fiction - and a source of inspiration - as Rousseau uncovers the truth about Candice's past and her untimely death. Boasting strong lead performances and gorgeous wintertime landscapes, this off-beat mystery breathes fresh life into the thriller genre. -- (C) First Run Features

Critic Reviews

Farran Smith Nehme, New York Post
"Nobody Else But You'' has a great deal going for it, not the least of which is Rouve, who takes the novelist's obsessiveness, depression and general boorishness and turns it all into the source of his appeal.
Stephen Holden, New York Times
If "Nobody Else but You" is smart and entertaining, it is a little too clever for its own good.
Mark Jenkins, NPR
The movie may teeter on the edge of Switzerland, but its playful sensibility is entirely French.
Jordan Mintzer, Hollywood Reporter
A quirky murder mystery where the world's most famous blond gets resurrected in rural France.
Lisa Schwarzbaum, Entertainment Weekly
Writer-director Gérald Hustache-Mathieu sustains a fresh voice influenced by the Coen brothers and the infernal snow of Fargo.
Boyd van Hoeij, Variety
A subversive and strange little film noir.
Brent Simon, Shockya.com
A stylishly shot film that's at once forlorn and hopeful, unfolding in a space that seems real and familiar, yet also a bit off-kilter and dreamlike. If it's a candle in the wind, it flickers some, but doesn't get blown out.
Moira MacDonald, Seattle Times
Writer/director Gérald Hustache- Mathieu gives it all a literary intelligence and a sense of breathless, playful noir...
Jesse Cataldo, Slant Magazine
While Nobody Else But You aspires to a kind of French Fargo, it forgets the primary qualities that made that film work.
, Film4
Attempts to get beneath the skin of public obsession with film stars or, more accurately, with one particular film star, in a bizarre reimagining of the Marilyn myth.
Lisa Nesselson, Screen International
Succeeds in breathing fresh life into the 'meet-quirky-locals-while-solving-a-crime' genre.
