Biography

Early life
Manoush was born May 29, 1980 in Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer as the third child of a mother of Manouche romani and Persian Kolie roma origin. She was raised in Haarlem, Noord-Holland, Cologne, Germany and Biel, Switzerland. At the age of 18, Manoush began modelling, but her career stopped short at age 20 after a car accident left scars on her stomach and legs. She immigrated to the United States a couple of years ago.


Movie career
She began to get into film in the summer of 1998. In 2000 was offered the role of the “nymphomaniac" in Jean-Pierre Jeunet´s Amélie, which opened many doors in the film and TV industry for Manoush, as well as establishing her as “the bad girl” in the roles she played. Manoush often gets credit as an action and horror actress or as a professional for roles which can be intense and difficult to play. In 2004 she played fighter Carda in Angel of Death 2, closely followed by films such as Timo Rose’s The Legend of Moonlight Mountain (2005), Marian Dora’s Cannibal (2006), Timo Rose’s Barricade (2007), and Andrey Iskanov’s Philosophy of a Knife (2008). She won Best Supporting Actress in 2011 at the PollyGrind Film Festival in Las Vegas for her role as Olga in The Super.


Music career
She started out as a cyberpunk singer. Besides her acting and writing career, she worked as a singer of the band Cyanide Savior alongside her husband, Chris Vazquez.

Christine, who is about to marry Steven, decides to hold her bachelorette party in Las Vegas with her friends Olivia, Claire, and Barbara. Christine's foster mother bids farewell to her daughter, then bludgeons a bound and gagged man with a hammer. After the party, Christine's group begins driving back to Chicago in an RV, and it is revealed that Christine has a troubled past and an unspecified mental illness, which has caused her to carve inverted crosses into her abdomen. During the trip, the quartet pick up a hitchhiker named Joe, who they quickly eject from the vehicle due to his strange behavior. A short time later, the RV is flagged down by a religious police officer, who claims that she needs a lift to the nearest town.

In the intro, a mother reads the story of Hansel and Gretel to her young boy. The setting then moves to the present day, where The Man goes about his day-to-day routines and occasionally chats with others on his computer, where he looks for someone who shares his cannibalistic fantasies. The Man meets with several people he had chatted with, but he either rejects them or is rejected (and in one case attacked) by them, except for The Flesh, a suicidal man who volunteers to be killed and eaten by The Man. The Flesh travels to The Man from Berlin, and the two bond, having sex and frolicking in the nude in and around The Man's home.

Amélie Poulain was raised by eccentric parents who — erroneously believing that she had a heart defect — prevented her from meeting other children. She was home schooled by her mother. She developed an active imagination and fantasy life to cope with her loneliness. After her mother is killed in a freak accident, her father's withdrawal from society worsens. Amélie eventually decides to leave home and becomes a waitress at Café des 2 Moulins in Montmartre, which is staffed and frequented by a collection of eccentrics. Spurning romantic relationships after a few disappointing efforts, she finds contentment in simple pleasures and letting her imagination roam free.
