Stars: Vanessa Paradis, Nicolas Maury, Kate Moran, Jonathan Genet, Félix Maritaud, Khaled Alouach, Noé Hernández, Thibault Servière, Bertrand Mandico, Bastien Waultier, Romane Bohringer, Dourane Fall, Jules Ritmanic | Written by Yann Gonzalez, Cristiano Mangione | Directed by Yann Gonzalez
Knife+Heart (Un couteau dans le cœur) is a French 80s cinematic throwback directed by Yann Gonzalez. The film is set during 1979 in Paris and follows Anna (Vanessa Paradis) a gay porn producer who is recovering from heartbreak with romantic partner Lois (Kate Moran) when a mysterious killer begins to pick off Anne’s male talent one by one.
Variety describes Yann Gonzalez film as “unabashedly queer”, and you could not argue against a single letter in that description. Knife+Heart is incessantly provocative, too much at times, from its neon-lit opening to its apathetic climax. A stylish satirical feature that finds any form of over theatricality intensifies such and indulges to a sickly humorous extent.

Altered Innocence has debuted a full-length, official Us trailer for a French murder thriller titled Knife+Heart, which premiered at the Cannes Film Festival last year. The film goes under the title Un couteau dans le coeur in France, which translates directly to A knife in the heart, but I prefer the official version more. Set in Paris in the summer 1979, the film follows Anne, a producer of third-rate gay porn. When Loïs, her editor & companion, leaves her, she attempts to reclaim her by turning a film more ambitious, but one of her actors ends up murdered. Vanessa Paradis stars as Anne, with Kate Moran, Nicolas Maury, Jonathan Genet, Khaled Alouach, & Félix Maritaud. Including an original score by M83. The film has been described as a "gleefully trashy exploitation film" that is kind of like "gay porn meets Giallo slasher." If that sounds like your kind of kink,...
