Part of Hoop-Tober

“I want to go home.” “Okay.”

I am not a person who generally remembers his dreams. I must have them, of course. I slip into REM sleep like anyone else. But my dreams, whatever they may be, tend to escape me. Probably just as well. My waking thoughts are enough to deal with as it is.

Occasionally a snippet or two of my slumbering fantasies will remain at daybreak. An image, an isolated moment. Something memorable enough to be remembered—perhaps beautiful, perhaps disturbing, perhaps both—but divorced from context, however surreal or mundane that might have been. It’s frustrating, like finding a puzzle piece with no puzzle; it’s haunting, like a ghost that only stares but doesn’t speak.…

Tindersticks provide music that compliment the breathtaking cinematography of Agnès Godard and the atmospheric direction of Claire Denis, making Trouble Every Day what it is, a piece of moving art just waiting to be interpreted.

Besides the stylistic perfection, Vincent Gallo uses his natural creepiness to master the art of being troubled, distraught, desperate and insatiable. This movie suited him so well. And Béatrice Dalle? Everything suits her.

I liked that the vague touch of vampirism was shown in a rather different light.

While the kill count is low there are two kill scenes one with Vincent Gallo and the other with Beatrice Dalle that will chill you to the bone! Beatrice Dalle's scene was particularly gruesome!…

"I feel good."

A modern-day vampire tale centered on two newlyweds that fly to Paris, France on their honeymoon. One would suppose that the setting is adequately romantic given the special occasion, but that amorous notion of the City of Lights is subverted. Paris is portrayed as a medieval cathedral whose monstrous gargoyles reminisce its macabre history, and as a contemporary prison that suffocates the working class. However, we comprehend that this will not be a conventional love-story before we even arrive at the nation’s capital. During the opening moments, Shane Brown (Vincent Gallo), momentarily leaves his wife (Tricia Vessey) because he cannot deter himself from fantasizing about her spattering in human blood. He is a vampire (though it should…
