Review of Trouble Every Day (2001) by Tor M — 22 Oct 2012

A film with varied critisism and both typical movie cons and movie pros for my taste. I figured that it was mainly pros - like Vincent Gallo, being on several "disturbing movies" lists and being something extraordinary. Therfore I gave it a go.

I love all the mysterious characters drifting around here. It creates that atmosphere of unknowingness and it kept my interest in it. It's very few words here. Some in English, other in French. This is a clean and silent film with a smooth jazz score. it's not an easy film to watch since it's very grafic at times. Then - it gets messy. It gets very ugly and disturbing. A couple of scenes are so nasty that I understand that people will hate it for it.

I loved it. Not for the nasty stuff, it's an important factor, surely, but I love it for what it's about and how it's done and produced. Love is such a big theme here even if it's a bit hidden. I waited for something, and I got it. A very good film, but not for everyone. And yes, Gallo is the man of course.
