On a definite "what's going on here?!" slow burn, Claire Denis' Trouble Every Day explores sex addiction by presenting people (including super-creep Vincent Gallo) who, in the throes of passion, start eating their partners. Gives new meaning to the phrase "you look good enough to eat". And perhaps not eating so much as biting and ultimately, killing. Vampires or cannibals, but no feeding, except in the way a need is satisfied. Gallo is on the worst honeymoon on record (even for a horror film, unless it's normal for one to lock themselves in the bathroom to imagine your loved one rolling around in blood), in deep fear of going to far with his bride (an image of shame over kink?) and looking for a cure. In the end, perhaps only giving in to the addiction can restore some semblance of order. The last rather bleak moment gives us the impression the addict's partner has to live with it. Though Denis withholds the gory horror moments to two key devourings, she lathers on the psycho-sexual mood of horror films. People are always getting undressed and the camera traces body parts until you don't know what's what. It's all erogenous, or else it's all meat. An interesting discussion piece with some disturbing images and concepts at play, but I'd be in no hurry to span time with it again. 6 months ago -

A Strange and Unsettling movie. I liked it but wish they explained more about the condition the characters had. 6 years 11 months ago -
