    Minimal dialogue, a film that tells its story with images instead. At first the pacing and cinematography were hypnotizing, but an hour in, the slowness was effecting my viewing experience. It's clearly a very visually calculated movie, and obviously wants to be considered art ho...( read more)use.

    Due to the minimal dialogue and articulate angles, this movie causes some plot ambiguity that I hoped would not be frustrating, that it would all sort of come together in the end and that acute observation could carry the bulk of the film. It does to an extent, but still too many relationships are left unexplained and there are some disposable characters that simply muddle the story. The main thing I longed for was some more revelation about the dynamic between Dr. Leo and Dr. Brown. The Coré character is chilling, and she certainly makes this fit in a "horror" mode, though it is primarily an art house mystery that emphasizes sex and sensuality with its many flesh-on-flesh closeups.

    "Most Fucked Up" highlight: Coré at work on the "boy next door", Gallo's character (Dr.Brown) literally eats pussy

    "New Wave French Horror": this is more an extreme cinema/art house film than horror, but the gory scenes and cannibalistic subject qualify it

    The biting fetish (Ever had the urge to bite your lover?) seen as a disease that to the viewer is cannibalism. Like a French Cronenberg movie but with a really slow pace and a seemingly low budget. For most of the duration the story's plot appeared confusing, but once the stories...( read more) converged it was understandable. The concept wasn't given its due but the rare moments of sexual gore are explicit, kinky and grosstastic.

    Well, I had to rewatch certain parts to get the full story absorbed. And after all that, there really isn't a lot of character development for me to actually care about the hell these 3 people are in. This film is really just a portrait of this trio which are in an unsolvable dil...( read more)emma. The best (and only) enjoyable part of this film was Beatrice Dalle's performance especially her death scene. Vincent Gallo is only tolerable when he doesn't say anything. Maybe one day I'll watch this again, to see if I enjoy it more, but it won't be any time/year soon.

Here the love scenes all end in someone screaming. Maybe there's a metaphor here, but figuring it out wouldn't make Trouble Every Day any better. full review
