Without question "Trouble Every Day" was the most scandalous and shocking films at this year’s Cannes Film Festival, made all the more stunning coming from celebrated French director Claire Denis, named by the Village Voice One of the 1990’s Ten Best Directors. Starring Vincent Gallo ("Buffalo 66"), Tricia Vessey ("Ghost Dog") and Beatrice Dalle ("Betty Blue"), "Trouble Every Day" is a modern-day horror story about a man and a woman, living thousands of miles apart, who are afflicted with the same self-destructive cerebral impairment that affects their sexual appetites. "Trouble Every Day," Claire Denis’ 12th film could almost be called a silent movie; instead of words her penetrating, crystalline, sensual images speak volumes about this meditation of a human being’s ability to love, our inability to love, and the hunger to love, carried out to its most extreme and unspeakable degree. Vincent Gallo and Tricia Vessey are Shane and June Brown, an American couple honeymooning in Paris, her desire to nurture their new life together, to protect their love, and to embrace their union compromised by her husband’s mysterious and frequent disappearances to a medical clinic where breakthroughs in the study of the libido are undertaken. When Shane seeks out the one doctor who is the world’s foremost expert in the field, and whose radical experiments have led to his self-exile, he happens upon the doctor’s wife, another victim of the same malady. She has become so dangerous to herself and emotionally paralyzed by its symptoms that her husband imprisons her by day in their home. It is Shane’s chance encounter with this woman that triggers an event so cataclysmic and shocking it might just lead him to rediscover the tranquility he seeks to restore for he and his new bride.

A uniquely sensual metaphorical dramatization of sexual obsession that spends a bit too much time on its fairly ludicrous plot.

Vincent Gallo is right at home in this French shocker playing his usual bad boy weirdo role.

The film is an odd little piece, one in which its malaise disposition persists to engender the cinematic thrill that subcultural viewers hope for.

Denis is an extraordinarily reticent storyteller.
