A plant discovered in the South American jungle produces in its test subjects a terrible, unnatural and uncontrollable hunger. Vicious, all-consuming desire begets excessive violence and a turn to cannibalism, which situates \u003ci\u003eTrouble Every Day\u003c\/i\u003e into a tradition of challenging cinema, a \u003ci\u003efilm maudit\u003c\/i\u003e that pushes the boundaries of what can be shown on screen. But while it is certainly an unflinching film, it is deserving of reassessment as part ofClare Denis’ filmography as well as a broader cinematic lineage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFocusing on close textual analysis, this book delves into the surfeit of visual, literary, and non-fiction references that shape \u003ci\u003eTrouble Every Day\u003c\/i\u003e while thwarting attempts to firmly situate it. It considers its place in a lineage of films that push the boundary of taste and representation, aligned as much with \u003ci\u003eUn Chien andalou\u003c\/i\u003e (1929) as the New French Extremity. It also considers the film’s relationship to such sub-genres as classic monster movies, video nasties, mad science, gothic, vampire, body horror, and Italo-exploitation cannibal films, and directors such as Abel Ferrara, Brian de Palma, Jean Renoir and Jacques Tourneau. Drawing on a range of disciplines, including art, philosophy and phenomenology, this study explores how \u003ci\u003eTrouble Every Day\u003c\/i\u003e elicits a visceral response to a cinematic experience that beguiles and violates.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56402999476598,"sku":"9781800859241","price":108.78,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/stand_36637940.jpg?v=1760651469","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/9781800859241-trouble-every-day","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
