A queer horror masterpiece! In Yann Gonzalez’s strikingly twisted giallo update, a masked killer is stalking the cast and crew of a gay porno shoot in late ‘70s France. While beautiful bodies get picked off one by one, the movie’s producer (Vanessa Paradis) tries to keep her most ambitious film on track. Backed by a throbbing soundtrack by M83, Knife + Heart is stylish and kinky, beautifully lensed, and filled with macabre humor and heart.
“This magical, erotic, disco-tinged horror-thriller is like cinematic candy.” – Katie Walsh, Los Angeles Times
“Gonzalez contains his love of screen excess with a deliberation that never feels contrived or cheap.” – Glenn Kenny, The New York Times
“Equal parts kinky and kitsch, rendered with the kind of meticulous attention to lighting, composition, and sound that all but guarantees a cult following.” – Peter Debruge, Variety
