French giallo tribute with Vanessa PARADIS

Paris 1979: A French GayPorn producer (Vanessa PARADIS) lives for her work and strives for a certain level of art in her films. Suddenly a bizarre series of murders begins: Using a folding knife hidden in a black dildo, a masked man gradually murders the actors in her latest film. Since no help can be expected from the police, the producer investigates on her own...

Very poetic and quite explicit! But don't worry, this beautifully filmed giallo homage is also acceptable to mainstream audiences. Director Yann GONZALEZ pays tribute not only to the Italian giallo thriller, but also to the heyday of the French porn scene. You have to have the courage first! He made it into the Cannes competition. Completely right! Nicolas MAURY and Felix MARITAUD, who also starred in "120 BPM" (2017), can be seen in other roles. But the main role goes to Vanessa PARADIS (*1972 in Saint-Maur-des-Fosseés), who plays her heart out. It's wonderful what has become of the teenage star of the 1980s!

Worth seeing film about an unusual environment and a film genre that has almost been forgotten!
