April Love
21 October 2011
Warning: Spoilers
The director and leading lady of 'Avril' join forces for another quirky difficult-to-classify entry albeit one without the strong religious overtones of Avril. This time around Sophie Quinton is a local girl totally lacking in self confidence despite Hollywood starlet good lucks and a bubbly personality. She finds fame albeit restricted to being the weather girl on local TV and then finds death. Thriller writer Jean-Paul Rouve happens to be in town - he was born there - at the time and decides to make the tragedy the springboard for a new thriller. His investigations - hampered by the local police chief - lead him to the conclusion that Quinton was murdered by the president of the region and his brother, aided unknowingly and bizarrely by the analyst who was treating Quinton. Similarities to the last days of Marilyn Monroe are unashamedly exploited and the whole thing is well done without being truly memorable.
