Knife + Heart
Alternative title: Un couteau dans le coeur

Directed by Yann Gonzalez

Paris, summer 1979. Anne is a producer of gay adult movies. When Lois, her editor and companion, leaves her, she attempts to get her back by making a more ambitious film with the flamboyant Archibald.
Knife + Heart is a wildly stylish French thriller set in the gay porn industry of late-1970s Paris. Yann Gonzalez mixes giallo horror, melodrama and eroticism with remarkable visual confidence, and Vanessa Paradis gives the film emotional weight beneath its neon colours and deliberate excess.
