Well, the Big Night came. The unobtainable treasure of Trouble Every Day - the Claire Denis much talked about movie, sandwitched between the incredible Beau Travail and Friday Night - had arrived and the plasma was turned on.The magic of Denis is inescapable - you can tell it from the first shots. And... I almost wish the movie ended after its first five minutes. As the rest has been the painful and unpleasant unraveling of the idol.
Many people never understood why she made that movie the way she made it, and I am afraid I will belong to that category... perhaps until the lightning strikes me. If it was just another of those many boring "Look how I can shock you!" opuses, then by this age I am very hard to shock, but I am very easy to bore, though.
And boring it becomes quickly, as quickly as she (the heroine) takes the first delicious bite.
And all the rest becomes time spent in hope - perhaps she really meant something significant... perhaps something unexpected is coming... perhaps the subtlety is hidden under the ice of gore.
Alas... all those hopes finally dissappear and you are left alone vis-a-vis your boredom and sense of revoltion that even a seasoned viewer must eventually sucumb to.
If you have strong stomach and must see "the other Claire Denis" then get it... if you can find it. Fortunately this "treasure" is well hidden.
But if you simply want a good movie - look elsewhere.
This one gets my French Kaka rating... full blast.

thanks for the post - how did you get Trouble Every Day? have you seen Friday Night? how is that?
"HEY" - BIG A
Trouble Every Day I bought on ebay - you can find them there, even though it has not been released here.Friday Night - I already wrote about it, please look below, it is one of the most beautiful films I have seen.
will check out friday night - really liked beau travail. thanks.
"HEY" - BIG A
How about creating a kind of rating scale for films?We would have the " KAKA *
----------------- KAKA**----------------- Until full blast *****
And then the über " Kaka " of the year like..LOTR......
I guess, in the final analysis, someone WILL have to separate the simple kaka from the "über Kaka", but hopefully neither you nor I will be called for that duty.For instance, I still refuse to see the LOTR, even if doing so might affect my overall scale.
So now - you have seen the LOTR, and I have seen Trouble... so if we join the two brains we now have a complete picture...
I wonder that maybe that stupid game with the Truffaut's "alter ego" made some sense after all. But what an unpleasant young man that was!
I remember reading your aversion of him.
Back then he was the symbol of the 60´s 70´s, and as you correctly stated the alter ego of Truffaut, the man with many a wom(e)n.
At the time I found them passably entertaining, they were " Zeitgeist "..ButI don´t care for those films, they just belongs at the time when we had my freind and I a new girl every day...the sexual revolution as they tell us....I appreciate your first part!
