Love Her Madley

Love her madly is a tale of sexual obsession, madness and murder set in the campus communioty of the exclusive California College of the Arts. At the film's outset, an unidentifeid body draped by a blood-spattered sheet lays centre stage within the school's Greek amphitheatre, and the story in the main unfolds over the course of the twenty-four hours leading up to the murder. The four characters at the heart of this thriller are all artists: a professor of drama and former winner of the Pulitzer prize, his two young protégés, a sculptor and a video artist, and the untamable actress who casts her hold upon all three men but can be held by none. This intrigue of tangled relationships offers ample reason for any of the leads to be suspected as either killer or killed; it is a whounit in the finest noir traditon. Yet, directed by and mated to a soundtrack scored by Doors keyboard wizard, Ray Manzarek, Love her madly christens a new millennial genre; Hip-hop Hitchcock.
