Interesting facts

Trouble Every Day is a 2001 erotic horror film directed by Claire Denis and written by Denis and Jean-Pol Fargeau. It stars Vincent Gallo, Tricia Vessey, Béatrice Dalle, Alex Descas and Marilu Marini. The film's soundtrack is provided by Tindersticks. The plot follows American scientist Shane Brown, who neglects his wife on their honeymoon to Paris to locate his former colleague Léo Semenau and his wife Coré, who holds cannibalistic urges.

Production

The film's genesis dates back to 1989, when Claire Denis, on a short film in New York, met Vincent Gallo. At the request of a television channel, she considered a project for a horror genre film set at night in the city, starring Gallo. The project never came to fruition, but the idea of a gore film persisted in her mind.

From the first version of the script, consisting of a long text before its re-division into classic sections, Denis sought to create a permanent feeling of danger and anxiety. To do this, she drew inspiration from the works of Canadian photographer Jeff Wall, whose books she gave to Agnès Godard, her director of photography, in order to create this sought-after atmosphere.

Alice Houri, who starred in Denis' previous film Nénette et Boni, has a small cameo as a girl on a metro who watches Shane.
