Trouble Every Day (2002)
Boring every minute.
I am not an advocate of book burning. In fact,
I can think of little that is more abhorrent to me.
By extension, I would not be an advocate of film burning.
The destruction of "art," no matter what it has to say,
is repulsive to me. However, if every copy of "Hannibal"
and "Trouble Every Day" were to be inexplicably set
on fire, I would not flinch. These films are repulsive
trash that no human should ever be forced to endure.
"Trouble Every Day" is a gory, blood-soaked mess.
It takes forever for its story to become (reasonably)
clear and by that time we could give a fuck. The story
is so stupid and basic, anyway, that it is not even
worth the wait. It's a flimsy house of cards anchored
in bullshit. I mean, this film is not only stupid, it's
pretentious as fuck. Director Claire Denis (who should
seek counseling) takes forever to get anything of substance
going and then decides not to truly explain anything
anyway. Pretentious git.
Plot points here are based around the stupidest
of circumstances. A character breaks into a house and
finds a woman held prisoner. He immediately begins to
make out with her through the barricade of her door
before pulling it down and fucking her. Stupid. A character
rapes a hotel worker in a locker room. Nobody ever comes
near to hear her screams. Ridiculous trash. It's hard
to believe this crap was written and directed by a woman.
Vincent Gallo is hailed as "the star" of "Trouble
Every Day." He does nothing here but look shaggy and
wander around aimlessly, desperately trying to figure
out the plot of this mess. He should really kick himself
for accepting this role. Then again, what has he done
of note since "Buffalo 66?" Maybe he should stick to
music. His CD "When" is awesome. His acting here is
not.
And speaking of music, it's sad that such an awesome
score accompanies such a cruddy movie. Tindersticks
does the music here and it is perfection. Spend your
money on the soundtrack CD. Skip the film.
"Trouble Every Day" is complete heinous crap. Avoid
it like the clap.
