Paris, Summer 1979. Anne (Vanessa Paradis) produces third-rate gay pornographic films. 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 into a serial killer that turns her life upsidedown. A magical, erotic, disco-tinged horror-queerthriller, Knife + Heart is an exhilarating homage to Italian giallo, with heavy influences from Peeping Tom and Todd Haynes’ 1991 feature debut, Poison.
