Review of Knife + Heart

It started off just like a giallo with a masked killer going after actors of a porn movie. He killed his victims with a dildo-knife. And then there's the love between the boss and her editor who walked out on her while the boss is still crazy about her. I wanted it to be a good whodunnit and/or whydunnit but it took a turn and became a bit fantastic. There's a blind black bird at every murder scene. They found a feather of it in one of the crime scenes and the boss went to a town where it's supposed to live. There she found a missing and her mother crying by her empty grave. The town, its train station, the night at the graveyard and the daughter of the owner of the inn, everything looked so charming and intriguing. There was a fire at the barn and one of the lovers was dead and Guy Favre was missing. It turns out it was him going after the actors because one of them would resemble his boyfriend. He tried to kill him in be dark room of the cinema but the audience lynched him after finding out he's the killer. He was burned but those mythical blind birds in the forest healed him.

The ending could have been better but everything looks so good that I can ignore it and I hope we'll see more French giallo-esque films in the future.
