Plot summary
Shane Brown, an American scientist, and his wife June arrive in Paris for what is meant to be their honeymoon. Shane has another errand there: he is trying to trace Léo Sémeneau, a neuroscientist he once worked with who now keeps a low profile as a general practitioner. Léo keeps his wife Coré shut inside their home by day because she is dangerous to others. Shane visits a clinic where studies of human libido are carried out, and a doctor who knew Léo passes on the couple's address. June knows nothing of her husband's condition and has to make sense of his strange behavior during the trip.

Did you know?!Facts and trivia about Trouble Every Day (2001)
Can contain spoilers, watch the movie first.
- Trouble Every Day caused uproar at its 2001 Cannes screening: audiences booed and walked out, and two women in the audience fainted from the film's violence, so an ambulance had to be called.
- Claire Denis met Vincent Gallo in 1989 while working on a short film in New York and planned a night-set horror film starring him; that project fell apart, but she kept the idea of a gore film for ten years before making Trouble Every Day with Gallo in the lead.
- To build the film's permanent feeling of danger and anxiety, Claire Denis gave books by Canadian photographer Jeff Wall to her cinematographer Agnès Godard.
- After its release, Trouble Every Day developed a small cult following who admire its themes of existentialism and its unusual take on the horror genre and gender roles.
