Our take

Vanessa Paradis stars as a gay porn producer in Yann Gonzalez’s titillating, neon-soaked giallo pastiche. With a thrumming retro-electro score by M83, and shot on 35mm & 16mm, it’s a deliciously kitsch, unapologetically queer throwback to vintage slasher films—dirty, provocative, and a lot of fun.
