  An alternately lyrical and brutal vision of desire as pure lust, with cannibalism envisioned as the end result of tossing off one's inner humanity in favor of animal instinct. But then, isn't that what sex essentially is, in some ways? Not that Claire Denis is puritanical about sex; Trouble Every Day is framed not merely as the typical slasher-movie "sex = death" equation, but more as a blood-and-thunder struggle between thought and feeling, scientific detachment and Romantic passion. Certainly, I can't remember the last time I saw a film that featured a shot as uncanny as one here in which the camera roved along the body of a nude male soon-to-be-victim and somehow conveyed both omniscient clinical analysis and chomping-at-the-bit sexual desire at the same time. As annihilating as that desire might be in Denis's world, the film's own tantalizing/disturbing endpoint suggests that it may also be perversely cathartic as well.

  What once struck me as a minor, if still quintessential, Denis film now seems one of her very best. Yes, there is terrifying gore here—I will never shake the scene of Dalle turning erotic bites into murder, the camera increasingly isolating her mouth into a too-large maw of animalism and diastema as her mark whimpers, screams and rattles—but this is not so neat a fit into the New French Extremity as it seems. Above all this applies Denis's deep visual understanding of the tangle of Eros and Thanatos to its purest form, and it should come as no surprise that she plumbs the depths of Victorian tropes to depict this web of eroticized death. Coré is Jane Eyre's Bertha, locked…

  Part of Hoop-Tober

  “I want to go home.” “Okay.”

  I am not a person who generally remembers his dreams. I must have them, of course. I slip into REM sleep like anyone else. But my dreams, whatever they may be, tend to escape me. Probably just as well. My waking thoughts are enough to deal with as it is.

  Occasionally a snippet or two of my slumbering fantasies will remain at daybreak. An image, an isolated moment. Something memorable enough to be remembered—perhaps beautiful, perhaps disturbing, perhaps both—but divorced from context, however surreal or mundane that might have been. It’s frustrating, like finding a puzzle piece with no puzzle; it’s haunting, like a ghost that only stares but doesn’t speak.…
