Number One Fan (Elle L’Adore) – 8

An attractive but slightly loony fan of singer Vincent Lacroix is asked, as a favor, to dispose of his girlfriend’s body and then, as a result, is treated as a murder suspect. Meanwhile, the police team investigating the disappearance is having their own, typically French, problems. Lives are hanging in the balance, but it’s not really that serious, as there was no murder in the first place. “Oh, what a tangled web we weave,” etc., seems to be the message of this droll detective thriller, anchored by the wonderful character remarkably performed by Sandrine Kiberlain. Clever, delightful, and like the best French movies, it couldn’t have cost much to make.
