I LOVE YOU SO MUCH, I COULD EAT YOU UP!, December 8, 2005
Love bites, literally. This utterly disturbing and obscure yet beautiful and tender film tells about people with a deviation - they can't love the way normal people do, they have this obsessive urge to devour their loved ones alive! Just like a female mantis or certain kind of female spiders devour their spouse right after copulating. For them love and sex are impossible without pain, blood and death.
Here we see a mentally-disturbed woman (played by Beatrice Dalle) who preys on men seduced be her sexuality, and a character of Vincent Gallo, who feels the need to bite, to gnaw and to suck blood of a girl he loves but he refrains himself (untill a certain moment) trying to be a reasonable man.
This stylish, wonderfully-paced and delicate movie shows the thin line between true love and sadism, between the desire to caress and to torment. It can have a huge effect on you because this lingering, viscous and sad film at times explodes with truly infernal and disturbing scenes which won't leave you indifferent. Speaking of disturbing images I can tell you "Trouble Every Day" has some of the most thrilling ones among all I've seen. Even if not for the gore itself you would be shuddered watching agony of a man being eaten during a coitus.
This is definately not an exploitation flick, watch it if you like dark and serious movies like "Irreversible".

a tepid affair that, like a watched pot, never boils, June 3, 2006
This vampire flick attempts to be an overly cerebral affair but, instead, comes off as a pretentious exercise in abusing the audience. Stark and minimalist, it stars a brooding Vincent Gallo as Shane Brown who ignores his all-too-cute new bride (Tricia Vessey) on their honeymoon to Paris. While Mr. Brown has a lovely wife, he has no interest in her on their trip and, instead, searches aimlessly for a former colleague and his wife. I think that Mrs. Brown rushed into her relationship, as she knows nothing of her husband's bloodlust nor his history and murderous intentions.
Directed by Claire Denis whose BEAU TRAVAIL is supposed to be god's gift to film lovers, TROUBLE EVERY DAY is inherently flawed in its casting of Gallo as Brown. I believe in vampires much more than I'd believe that the humdrum Gallo could bag a beauty like Vessey or even Beatrice Dalle (who, while over-the-hill, still looks pretty darned good, esp. when she's got blood dripping from her smiling mouth).
Throw in a snooping maid and some meddlesome kids and put on a very low heat TROUBLE EVERY DAY is a tepid affair that, like a watched pot, never boils. Tedious and mind-numbingly artsy-fartsy, this is one to miss.

Beware of sex presenting..., August 28, 2006
A voodoo-practitioner - Afro-French male doctor's sex-toy creature allowed leaving her locked room by a hypnotised curious intruder being afterwards consumed during copulating, is overpowered by a strong American happened to drop in into a doctor's house at the timing. He had since then fallen into her footsteps of a thirst for blood and flash during orgasm.
Perverted love of "Dracula" mixed with an unstoppable quest for sadist sex of "Frisk", framed with Parisian charm makes this terrific film realistic to a degree of a potential usage by anti-AIDS and pro-obscenity campaigners.
Highly recommended.
