But while performing her grief, Anne decides to use these crimes as inspiration for her next porno, Homo-cidal. Amidst this turmoil, someone begins picking off her porn stars one by one, casting a shadow of fear over the studio. Meanwhile, Anne won’t stop drinking her pain away after a breakup with her girlfriend of 10 years, who is also her editor. Her performers are constantly demanding payment, even discussing their paychecks mid-blow job.
This is Gonzalez’s ridiculously delicious opening of his queer slasher for the ages about a killer tracking down porn stars in Paris during the summer of 1979.Īnne Parèze (played by the ethereal Vanessa Paradis) is a porn producer who exclusively makes gay male porn at a discount.
However, it all goes downhill when this man reveals he has a dildo knife and kills his partner. The masked man and the young dancer go home together, presumably for a night of fun.
But at the sex club in the opening of Yann Gonzalez’s Knife+Heart, this is expected and even encouraged. In most cases, a man in a leather mask masturbating while watching a young man dance would be a red flag.
