Knife+Heart
A visually arresting and emotionally raw neo-noir set amidst the vibrant, yet increasingly terrifying, Parisian gay porn scene of 1979, *Knife+Heart* blends hyper-stylized horror with a surprisingly tender love story. Producer Anne grapples with creative blockage and a crumbling relationship as her actors begin dying in increasingly elaborate and unsettling ways, mirroring the escalating violence within her own film. The film doesn’t simply utilize the slasher trope; it deconstructs it, infusing the genre with a distinctly queer sensibility, exploring themes of artistic obsession, jealousy, and the vulnerability inherent in both performance and desire. The investigation into the killings unfolds with a melancholic energy, fuelled by a protagonist wrestling with her own complicity and loss, and creating a darkly humorous, uniquely unsettling atmosphere where cinematic fantasy bleeds into brutal reality.
