I love you so much I could just eat you...

"There's not much violence in my film, but what there is springs from something deep.  I would say it's about love in a way.  And what happens when you tangle with something that is stronger than you are." - Claire Denis, director

"The stuff dreams are made of!" - Glenn Kenny, Premiere

"Move over Hannibal Lecter.  Here comes Vincent Gallo.  A film with bite!" - V.A. Musetto, New York Post

"Beatrice Dalle is not so much an actress as a volcanic mouth attached to a fiery reputation; ever since Betty Blue has incarnated our favorite appetites." - Anthony Lane, The New Yorker

"A Gallic art-house horror film marbled with hothouse erotica." - Ernest Hardy, L.A. Weekly

"Claire Denis, one of the most famous French directors of all time, occasionally makes a genre film.  Her horror film, Trouble Every Day is regarded as one of the most brutal erotic horror movies ever made." - Heidi Honeycutt, I Spit on Your Celluloid: The History of Women Directing Horror Movies

American newlyweds Dr. Shane and June Brown (Vincent Gallo and Tricia Vessey) travel to Paris for their honeymoon.  Once there, Shane begins a search for his former medical colleague Leo (Alex Descas), who may have information or a cure for the tropical virus that has transformed Leo's wife (Beatrice Dalle) into a murderous sexual carnivore, and may soon do the same to Shane.
