  Trouble Every Day
Trouble Every Day is about sexual frustration, infidelity, and the pain of keeping a secret from your spouse or the loneliness of keeping one with her.
There is much unspoken melancholy in Trouble Every Day, all of it carried in the chasm opening between and beneath two couples with the capacity to love one another unconditionally.
Trouble Every Day causes one to examine the place of the self amidst social niceties as it satirizes the hubristic illness that allows people to separate themselves from animals--to repress base desires in ways unhealthy and unwise.

 Kinoeye | French film: Claire Denis' Trouble Every Day (2001)
As a matter of fact, Trouble Every Day might just as well have fallen into the infamous category of films maudits, ie, pictures that are all but unanimously—and hysterically—reviled upon their releases, Michael Powell's Peeping Tom (1960) being perhaps the prime example in the horror genre.
A trouble resulting in part, to be sure, from Denis' idiosyncratic way of progressing toward a yet unknown filmic form, language or object rather than go, provocateur-like, for the facile shock value.
The genesis of Trouble Every Day is interestingly indicative of an overt reluctance to either duplicate, subvert or situate itself too specifically within the history and canon of the horror genre.

 "Trouble Every Day" - Salon.com
For the most part, "Trouble Every Day" is a moody, troubling work, masterfully photographed, that drifts from one gray Parisian incident to another in the rootless spirit of Wim Wenders and Jim Jarmusch, Denis' acknowledged mentors.
Watching "Trouble Every Day," at least if you don't know what's coming, is like biting into what looks like a juicy, delicious plum on a hot summer day and coming away with your mouth full of rotten pulp and living worms.

 Tindersticks: Trouble Every Day - PopMatters Music Review
This long version of "Trouble Every Day" is one of the best performances of Tindersticks' career and is sure to take its place as a favorite among the band's cult following.
On those tracks that do not feature Staples, the classic Tindersticks elements are woven into a series of short, sparse and shadowy soundscapes that seem informed by the mystical minimalism of composers such as Henryk Gorecki or John Tavener in their use of slow, repetitive piano figures tolling beneath simple violin borne melodies.
While neophytes may be better off starting their Tindersticks experience with the band's classic self-titled second album, Trouble Every Day quietly ranks with the best of the band's previous work and supplies a much needed fix for those who have already succumbed to Tindersticks' sad and addictive beauty.

 Trouble Every Day / Gargoyle / Claire Denis / 2001 / film review
Like many groundbreaking works before it, Trouble Every Day has been the victim of an excessive media frenzy, and it will probably achieve a more favourable rating some years after it was first subject to public scrutiny.
Although Trouble Every Day has many strengths it has nearly as many faults, and it these, not the presence of its two infamous "fuck and feast" scenes, which most damage the film’s credibility.
To sum up, Trouble Every Day is a mysterious piece of cinema which is as compelling as it is repulsive, a sophisticated variation on the conventional horror film with images that will leave an indelible impression on any spectator.

 I Viddied it on the Screen-Trouble Every Day
Claire DenisTrouble Every Day is a near-perfect illustration of the “man as rapist/woman as cannibal” dynamic, starting out by rather literally giving us a man who is a rapist and a woman who is a cannibal.
Trouble Every Day probably could have “worked” better had it eliminated the “mad scientist” stuff and Core and Shane’s existing relationship; basically if it had less plot and allowed the dualist qualities of Core and Shane’s contrasting afflictions to go unexplained.
The reason it seems that Trouble Every Day has not found an audience is that it is not really a horror film and not really an art film and as such has been torn apart by the core audience on both sides.

The doctor’s wife, Coré (Béatrice Dalle) meanwhile, seems to be victim to the same condition and is on the loose on an unstoppable orgy of sex and murder.
In Trouble Every Day however, there is not much plot in evidence, nor is there any great depth to the characters (much like Beau Travail in my opinion).
Trouble Every Day takes this theme to its most abstract form, with little consideration for plot or characterisation, but that doesn't make the film any less interesting than Irreversible or The Piano Teacher.

 Trouble Every Day (2001): Vincent Gallo, Tricia Vessey, Béatrice Dalle - PopMatters Film Review
Every shot where Shane (Vincent Gallo) eyes his wife June's (Tricia Vessey) fragile neck like it's filet mignon slams home what this film is supposedly about: the consuming nature of love, connections between violence and sex, possibly vampirism, and possibly Victorian repression and morbidity.
Narratively, Trouble Every Day is a plodding mess.
In this context, Trouble Every Day also considers the threat posed by "dirty" sex; the women Shane wants to harass and/or chew on are all of the working or lower classes, from Christelle to an older woman on the bus to a garishly made-up blonde.

 Trouble Every Day Review :: Hollywood.com

Shane is mysteriously troubled by incidents that might have begun in Guyana and involve his pilfering of Leo's research.
Vincent Gallo is appropriately creepy and sinister-looking as the twisted, tormented Shane, and Beatrice Dalle ably carries the burden of lethally lusty captive Core, afflicted by unslaked cannibalism.

 MovieMartyr.com - Trouble Every Day
The real curse of the bloodsucker, says the film, isn’t so much the craving for blood as it is the inescapable knowledge that the next evening’s sexual encounter will only bring more of the same, for eternity.
Denis occasionally plays homage to the vampire myth with several visual puns, such as the moment where Coré, the female vampire, straddles a hilltop and unfurls her jacket above her head, evoking a bat’s wings, but the majority of the film’s running time is spent blurring the line between monster and mortal.
Trouble Every Day seems to be that all sexual desire disrupts life’s stasis.

 Monsters At Play: Trouble Every Day Review
Trouble Every Day is a dreary, tightly paced and challenging film directed by French filmmaker Claire Denis.
Similar in style to Cronenberg's Crash or Kubrik's Eyes Wide Shut, Trouble also closely resembles the films of another French filmmaker, Jean Rollin who is famous for his melancholy vampire/living dead films of the 70's (Living Dead Girl, Lips of Blood, Requiem for a Vampire).
The similarities don't end there either, as the correlation between the characters (especially that of Coré) and that of vampires or the living dead are extremely evident (Coré is locked up in a dark room during the day and escapes at night to feed her savage lust).

 Trouble Every Day | The A.V. Club
Bringing her unique sensibility to the horror genre, Denis keeps the dialogue to a minimum and crafts a low-key, seductively opaque love story out of gore and gristle, with intimate scenes that are simultaneously tender and horrific.
Even with all the artful grotesquerie in Trouble Every Day, the prevailing mood is exquisitely sad, centered on two loving relationships infected by a force beyond their control.
Gallo and Descas' instinct to protect their wives—the former from the truth, the latter from herself—remains touching under the worst of circumstances, and brings a glint of redemption to an otherwise somber, grisly tale.

 Trouble Every Day
Unfortunately, while thought-provoking with occasional glimpses of the genius she exhibited in her last feature, BEAU TRAVAIL, TROUBLE EVERY DAY is an ambitious failure for me.
TROUBLE EVERY DAY has the disadvantage of being the follow up to their masterpiece, BEAU TRAVAIL.
Where BEAU TRAVAIL and its story were well-defined and precise - there is no question of who the antagonist/protagonist are - TROUBLE EVERY DAY is a confused tale that never anchors itself, mainly due to the obscurity of the story and a horrible performance by Vincent Gallo, who is thoroughly miscast as tortured Shane Brown.

 Trouble Every Day - Movie Review   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
However, in her perversely passionate sexual artsy thriller Trouble Every Day, Denis revels in the hedonistic arena of extreme nudity, graphic sex, and even cannibalism.
Although quite raw and caustic, Trouble Every Day is an awkwardly garish showcase that diverges from anything remotely probing or penetrating.
Overall, Trouble Every Day may have a haunting urgency that some may regard as refreshingly outlandish and strangely germane, but this romance thriller is a punishing and unfocused spectacle merely trying to grab your attention… without much idea of what to do with it.

 Trouble Every Day
Her husband is a doctor, and he tries to keep his ravenous wife behind lock and key, apparently for the public good.
In Trouble Every Day, the great irony is that the only selfless expression of love may be the failure to consummate it.
Her previous film, Beau Travail, was remarkable in the ways it fetishized the semi-naked male, and this one feasts its camera gaze on the bare skin of virtually every character with a speaking part in screen-filling closeup.

 BBC - Stoke and Staffordshire Films - Trouble Every Day Review
French director Claire Denis' follow-up to the mesmerising Foreign Legion drama "Beau Travail" is a far more interesting and troubling work than advance reviews from the festival circuit had suggested.
Accompanied by a mournfully romantic Tindersticks soundtrack, "Trouble Every Day" is a European art-house variation on the vampire movie, in which the characters' cannibalistic cravings can be understood as a metaphor for their ravenous sexual desires.
But in a drama more concerned with atmosphere than story, the film-maker and her regular cinematographer Agnès Godard sustain and build a mood of creeping dread, in which banal, everyday activities are invested with a powerful foreboding.

 USCCB - (Film and Broadcasting) - Trouble Every Day
Trouble Every Day -- Sick sexual thriller about an American (Vincent Gallo) honeymooning in Paris searching for a renegade French doctor (Alex Descas) who may have a cure for a disturbing sexual deviancy affecting the American and the doctor's wife (Beatrice Dalle).
Director Claire Denis' repulsive film interweaves two stories about cannibalistic sex using a minimum of dialogue and a maximum of grisly visuals which result in an drawn-out, muddled narrative.
The reviews include the USCCB rating, the Motion Picture Association of America rating, and a brief synopsis of the movie.
