Knife + Heart

Director
Yann Gonzalez
Certificate

Running Time
102 mins

All aboard for a kinky and stylised giallo-style erotic thriller, with hints of William Friedkin’s notorious Cruising, set in the vividly depicted late seventies Parisian gay pornography scene.

Gap-toothed Vanessa Paradis (remember her?) plays an alcoholic porn producer whose cast and crew are being bumped off by a mysterious psycho wielding a switchblade dildo. Clearly not one for our excitable friends the Easily Offended, Yann Gonzalez‘s kitschy, explicit and frequently very funny film is a slice of new queer cinema at its most playful.
