Knife + Heart - BLU-RAY

Downton Abbey: A New Era [DVD]

Paris, Summer 1979. Anne (French pop star Vanessa Paradis) produces third-rate gay porn. 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 that turns her life upside-down. Shot on 35mm and featuring a killer retro score from M83, Yann Gonzalez's KNIFE+HEART is an ultra-stylish and blood-soaked ode to '70s-era de Palma, Argento, and Friedkin.

In the course of a police raid upon a left-wing social center, scientist Berthold Hoffman (Bruno Ganz)-there to visit his estranged wife (Angela Winkler)-was shot in the head. As he struggles through a recovery that will never be complete and tries to piece together how his assault happened, both cops and radicals will try to make political hay out of his circumstances. Charged and telling drama also stars Heinz Hoenig, Hans Christian Blech, Hans Brenner, Udo Samel. 113 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack German; Subtitles English. In German with English subtitles.
