One of the best trans films you’ve likely never heard of, Antonio Giménez-Rico’s landmark 1983 documentary Dressed in Blue (Vestida de Azul) explores the lives and loves of a group of six transgender women living in Madrid in the years following Spain’s transition to democracy. But more than that, it’s a loving portrait of a culture finally emerging from the shadows after being hidden for far too long. Antonio's portrait of these women gave them the freedom to portray their own stories with their own friends & family, but in a stylized scripted narrative framework with gorgeous cinematography by Teo Escamilla. The stories of Eva, Nacha, Loren, Josette, Reneé, & Tamara were never properly released outside of Spain and never available on home video, but finally Altered Innocence and Anus Films is proud to present this vital testament to just how far we’ve come—and how far there’s still left to go.

Product Description Altered Innocence presents KNIFE+HEART - A queer slasher film beyond your wildest dreams! Paris, Summer 1979. Anne (French pop star Vanessa Paradis) produces third-rate gay erotic cinema. 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. Shot on 35mm and featuring a killer retro score from M83, Yann Gonzalez's KNIFE+HEART is an ultra-stylish and blood-soaked ode to '70s-era De Palma, Argento, and Friedkin. Special Features: Interview with Director Yann Gonzalez and co-writer Cristiano Mangione. Short Film: Islands (Les îles) by Yann Gonzalez. Music Video: Les vacances continuent. A Gothic Video Introduction by Pierre Emö. De Sperme et d'eau Fraiche. International Trailer, U.S. Theatrical Trailer, XXX Trailer, Other Trailers. Reversible Artwork. Foldout Poster Insert. Review A gleefully trashy exploitation film with a heart of gold that deserves a place in the queer horror hall of fame. --Bloody Disgusting Like excerpts from a lost Italian Gallo. --A.V. Club If Dario Argento, Brian De Palma and Kenneth Anger conceived a three-way love child while watching CRUISING and listening to a Giorgio Moroder mix tape, the result would be something like French director Yann Gonzalez's KNIFE+HEART. --The Hollywood Reporter
