Anne 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.
Trying (too hard) to ride on the LGBT movie trend, as well as misusing reference films such as 'Cruising' (by W.Friedkin), this item is definitely more like an appalling, tedious experimental piece of garbage than a first-rate movie.
Grotesque, swept-under-the-carpet scenario, overplayed excrutiating dialogues, and painful, cheap synth score for soundtrack...not to mention Vanessa Paradis' cartoonesque performance that does her character no favor, squeaking in a voice reminiscent of Mickey Mouse and Tweety Pie.
Beware, the main danger in the story is not the knife itself (the 'couteau'), but utter boredom, if you've managed to stay until the end.
