Transgressive both in its narrative and in its filmmaking, Trouble
Every Day (2001) envisions the monster inside, unspeakable urges
and an overwhelming need for complete incorporation. A plant
discovered in the South American jungle produces in its test
subjects a terrible, unnatural and uncontrollable hunger. Vicious,
all-consuming desire begets excessive violence and a turn to
cannibalism, which situates Trouble Every Day into a tradition of
challenging cinema, a film maudit that pushes the boundaries of
what can be shown on screen. But while it is certainly an
unflinching film, it is deserving of reassessment as part of Clare
Denis' filmography as well as a broader cinematic lineage. Focusing
on close textual analysis, this book delves into the surfeit of
visual, literary, and non-fiction references that shape Trouble
Every Day while thwarting attempts to firmly situate it. It
considers its place in a lineage of films that push the boundary of
taste and representation, aligned as much with Un Chien andalou
(1929) as the New French Extremity. It also considers the film's
relationship to such sub-genres as classic monster movies, video
nasties, mad science, gothic, vampire, body horror, and
Italo-exploitation cannibal films, and directors such as Abel
Ferrara, Brian de Palma, Jean Renoir and Jacques Tourneau. Drawing
on a range of disciplines, including art, philosophy and
phenomenology, this study explores how Trouble Every Day elicits a
visceral response to a cinematic experience that beguiles and
violates.
