Trouble Every Day DVD

 Good but not great
Now pay attention, because this one jumps around a lot... We have Shane (Gallo) and June Brown, on their honeymoon in gay Paris. Only Shane has some serious issues and a bag full of pills to try and combat them. He also has ulterior motives for coming to Paris, in a certain doctor Semeneau- an old colleague from his graduate school days. At first he tries to spend time with his new bride, but as time passes she is mostly left to her own devices. The doctor's wife, Core (Dalle), also has some deep rooted issues, mainly that she has to be locked in their house to keep her from seducing, then feeding on unsuspecting men. She also shows promise as an escape artist! Dr- Semeneau is forced repeatedly to "clean up" after his wife's "liaisons", while throughout, Shane is tracking him down through old acquaintances. Mrs- Brown is forced to wonder where her husband is, what he is doing and why he runs from her every time he gets sexually aroused! After a very grisly love scene between Core and a curious neighbor boy, Shane finally arrives at the doctor's house and finds the bloodied Core stumbling down the stairs in a post-orgasmic bliss. A brief, joyful reunion and he realizes she wants a piece of him too! He leaves her in flames to go back to the hotel, where he must confront his own demons when tempted by the maid. Back in the room, the little missus finds him in the shower, a lover's embrace and then it's over. As if only chapter one! Gallo plays disturbed quite well and the actress who plays his wife is convincing, as is the marginally ethical maid. Dalle is an outright seductive menace. As beautiful and crazy as she was in Betty Blue but much more dangerous!! It all comes together at the end but it's a long time and bumpy road, with little or no dialog to help us along the way. A very bleak Paris honeymoon, this trip.
