Knife + Heart North American Cinematic release

Yann Gonzalez’s Knife + Heart will be screened at select theaters in the United States this Spring. The noir-tinged erotic slasher features a soundtrack by Yann’s brother Anthony Gonzalez, the front man of M83. Knife + Heart is M83’s third feature film soundtrack and the second for a film by his brother following You and the Night. See below for a listing of confirmed engagements.

Reflecting on the inspiration for Knife + Heart’s soundtrack, Yann Gonzalez says, “We wanted to recapture the Gialli ambiance of the ‘70s, to feel that sinister yet sentimental tone. Anthony and I are both poetical and even sentimental, in a certain way. We wanted to dive in headlong, particularly as melancholy and poetry are found in numerous ‘70s horror film soundtracks, from films by Lucio Fulci to those by Mario Bava. I’m thinking in particular of the harrowing soundtracks of Don’t Torture a Duckling or Twitch of the Death Nerve.”
