Knife + Heart
aka Un couteau dans le coeur
First screened in April 2019
Director: Yann Gonzalez. Cast: Vanessa Paradis, Kate Moran, Jonathan Genet, Nicolas Maury, Khaled Alouach, Félix Maritaud, Bastien Waultier, Bertrand Mandico, Pierre Emö, Pierre Pirol, Thibault Servière, Elina Löwensohn, Romane Bohringer. Screenplay: Yann Gonzalez and Cristiano Mangione.

Twitter Capsule: What if giallo just isn't that interesting? What if you can be "stylized" without much style? Paradis is pretty bad.

VOR:   I'm sure some will discern value or wit to the movie's pastiche and its odd angles on queerness and gender but I found it all cheap and disposable.
