The first excursion into genre cinema by the celebrated French auteur Claire Denis, who had already made her name with previous features Chocolat and Beau Travail, Trouble Every Day, is an erotically-charged exploration of our darkest human desires and a key film in the development of what came to be known as the New French Extremity movement.
Dr. Shane Brown (Vincent Gallo) and his new wife, June (Tricia Vessey), are honeymooning in Paris, though Shane has other plans for their trip. He is hoping to track down his former medical colleague, Léo Semenau (Alex Descas), and discuss a past study into the human libido. But Léo doesn’t want to be found—he is living in obscurity to hide his own wife, Coré (Béatrice Dalle), who has developed an insatiable, cannibalistic lust as a result of Léo’s experiments. A lust that Shane is beginning to feel, too…
A dark and lyrical rumination on the pleasures of the flesh, Trouble Every Day is a remarkable work of cinema that challenged critics and audiences alike upon its release, before it came to be lauded as a modern classic.
