Trouble Every Day (2001)



A simple but incredible story about desires that turned into disease as eroticism explores through cannibalism here. But the beautiful thing is it's got a fascinating art house treatment by the director Clair Denis. Perhaps it sounds silly but at the beginning in one or two scenes I was thinking is it going to be an adult version of Let the Right One In? And yeah, I was damn wrong and I'm now glad for that. For its Slow pace with very minimal dialog definitely this isn't a movie for everyone but anyway I'm very thankful to Fort for the rec. I liked it.

Heartless (2010)



Though it started like a modern day horror-fairy tale but the vague ending left it open for viewer's own interpretation. I found it a pretty decent & interesting take on impact of society's everyday chaos on a young man and then how his psychological turmoil gradually turns into nightmares (specially after terribly losing his mother to the demons/gangsters!?) which ends up again like any other everyday violence triggered by out-of-control youths.

Have anyone suggests to check The Reflecting Skin (1990)?...which is done by the same director but I haven't seen yet.
