Trouble Every Day 2001
Claire Denis’ cult film, “Trouble Every Day,” reimagines the horror and thriller genres while subverting gender dynamics and the concept of infidelity. Dividing critics and audiences alike, the film follows the unfortunate, helpless, and dependent: Core, a killer with animalistic allure, is kept inside by her obedient husband Leo; Shane confesses to accidentally encountering Core; Shane’s young wife June suspects nothing. The film’s eroticism and violence are poignant, melancholic, and provocative, creating an atmosphere that is hauntingly heavy.
