Episode 199 Trouble Every Day

As we approach episode 200, Matt has decided to bring us back to where it all started. Claire Denis’ vampire-adjacent Trouble Every Day (2001), is a slow and sensual mood piece that’s sparse on dialogue but brimming with ambiguity. While the movie does contain two challengingly violent scenes, the lush camerawork from Agnès Goddard, sumptuous music from Tindersticks, and sad puppy dog eyes from Vincent Gallo help to temper their biting intensity. This is one auteur treatment of vampires that we heartily endorse. Join us as we rack our brains about about actual brains, review the Tool Time segments from Home Improvement, and get mayonnaise all over the mirror, this week on Ex Rated Movies!
