Trouble Every Day

Claire Denis / FR, DE, JP, 2001 / 102 min.

With this enchanting mix of blood and sensuality, Claire Denis made a poetic body horror dealing with lust, power and delirium. An odyssey into the hidden, dark areas of our brains – with seductive camerawork from Agnès Godard and a score by Tindersticks.

poster Trouble Every Day (Claire Denis, FR/DE/JP 2001)
While going on honeymoon to Paris, Shane (Vincent Gallo) is desperately searching for his former colleague Dr. Semeneau, with whom he undertook a radical investigation into the human libido. Both men bear the terrible scars of their experiments, and Shane is consumed by an insatiable, bloodthirsty hunger.
