Stars: Vanessa Paradis, Nicolas Maury, Kate Moran, Jonathan Genet, Félix Maritaud, Khaled Alouach, Noé Hernández, Thibault Servière, Bertrand Mandico, Bastien Waultier, Romane Bohringer, Dourane Fall, Jules Ritmanic | Written by Yann Gonzalez, Cristiano Mangione | Directed by Yann Gonzalez
Knife+Heart (Un couteau dans le cœur) is a French 80s cinematic throwback directed by Yann Gonzalez. The film is set during 1979 in Paris and follows Anna (Vanessa Paradis) a gay porn producer who is recovering from heartbreak with romantic partner Lois (Kate Moran) when a mysterious killer begins to pick off Anne’s male talent one by one.
Variety describes Yann Gonzalez film as “unabashedly queer”, and you could not argue against a single letter in that description. Knife+Heart is incessantly provocative, too much at times, from its neon-lit opening to its apathetic climax. A stylish satirical feature that finds any form of over theatricality intensifies such and indulges to a sickly humorous extent.

French writer/director Yann Gonzalez returns to the Cannes Film Festival Thursday night with “Knife + Heart” (Un Couteau Dans Le Cœur), his sophomore feature and first to compete for the Palme d’Or. The debut trailer introduces viewers to vice-fueled, nightclub-lurking Anne (César Award winner Vanessa Paradis), a Parisian producer of gay porn films.
Although she’s in the business of providing pleasure, Anne has two dark distractions in the 1979-set drama: possessive impulses toward her ex-girlfriend, Loïs (Kate Moran), and the masked man slaying her actors for sport. As Anne spies on Loïs, the killer spies on her.
Penned by Gonzalez and Cristiano Mangione, “Knife + Heart” was a late addition to the festival’s main competition announced one week after the rest of the line-up. Its predecessor, Athens International Film Festival Best Picture winner “You and the Night” (Les rencontres d’après minuit) — a Cannes 2013 Critics’ Week...
