Trouble Every Day is a 2001 film by French director Claire Denis. The film was written by Denis and Jean-Pol Fargeau. The film stars Vincent Gallo, Tricia Vessey, Béatrice Dalle and Alex Descas. The film's soundtrack is provided by Tindersticks.
The film received mixed reactions from critics. Variety wrote that it is "over-long, under-written and needlessly obscure instead of genuinely atmospheric".[1] The Boston Globe was more positive, but concludes by calling the film "a success in some sense, but it's hard to like a film so cold and dead".[2]
Later, the film developed a small following who admire it for its themes of existentialism and its unique take on the horror genre as well as gender roles. It was given an in depth analysis by Salon.com which looked at the intricacies of the film, particularly the metaphorical nature of the narrative. At Film Freak Central, Walter Chaw calls it "Plaintive and sad, Claire Denis' Trouble Every Day is a rare combination of honesty, beauty, and maybe even genius."[3] The film has been associated with the New French Extremity.[4]
The film was screened in out of competition at the 2001 Cannes Film Festival.[5]
