"Gonzalez offers a stark contrast in Knife+Heart, delivering graphic murder scenes juxtaposed with playful softcore porn, and a story driven by a strong female lead." - Dave Croyle, Gay Essential

"Gonzalez has a firm command of vintage gialli atmosphere." - Chuck Brown, SlantMagazine

"Knife+Heart serves as both a subversion of and a nod to genre tropes that implicate sex and sexuality in the bloody mess of horror. Oh, and it's really fucking good." - Nicola McCafferty, BostonHassle.com


WINNER: Best Film - Reykjavik International Film Festival


Paris, Summer 1979. Anne (French pop star Vanessa Paradis) produces third-rate gay porn. After her editor and lover Lois leaves her, she tries to win her back by shooting her most ambitious film yet with her trusted, flaming sidekick Archibald. But one of her actors is brutally murdered and Anne gets caught up in a strange investigation that turns her life upside-down. Shot on 35mm and featuring a killer retro score from M83, Yann Gonzalez's Knife+Heart is an ultra-stylish and blood-soaked ode to '70s era De Palma, Argento, and Friedkin.
