Trouble Every Day (2001). French art-house horror at its brutal best. This story starts out menacingly slow and brilliantly unrevealing. Things just do not seem to connect, with the one exception that the viewer somehow knows that horrible things are going to come about. The story never really gets fully developed, but that does not detract from its horrify central element and allows for the imagination to fill in the blanks. There are two scenes that are worthy of special mention for a "most brutal and squeamish scene ever" nomination. The camera work is playful and original, lingering at times in a most threatening manner. The acting was wonderful, with Vincent Gallo owning the central element of this film's importance. The direction-sublime! Overall, this was simply an artful display of intimately terrorizing horror. Merci beaucoup.
