Trouble Every Day (2001)


 

Two American newlyweds in Paris experience a love so strong, it almost devours them.

A cannibal film with a pretense will irritate both genre fans and art house audiences with its unnecessarily slow and elliptical narrative, cold and distanced atmosphere and lots of gore; great soundtrack, though.

Halliwell (no star): "Bloody, risible, emetic movie with an emaciated narrative that has Vincent Gallo looking moody while Beatrice Dalle literally consumes her lovers."

Maltin BOMB: "So bad it's almost funny. Atrocious French concoction...One of those woebegone cinematic mistakes that make you wonder. Tindersticks' score and title song are so good they belong in another movie."

High Life (2018)



A father and his daughter struggle to survive in deep space where they live in isolation.

Leftfield and dark sci-fi drama explores interpersonal relationships and human nature under extreme conditions; it helps to ignore the scientific components of the tale.
