01
Trouble Every Day
Why this pick
Denis again builds desire, bodily vulnerability and dread through tactile fragments, nocturnal city spaces and an intentionally disorienting emotional logic.

02
The Stranger
Why this pick
Visconti’s Camus adaptation shares Bastards’ cool, oppressive distance: a damaged man moves through a sun-blasted moral void where conventional explanations offer little relief.
03
In the Cut
Why this pick
Campion makes urban eroticism feel perilous and psychologically opaque, following a woman through a charged investigation with the same distrust of clean genre resolution.
04
Irreversible
Why this pick
For its punishing emotional intensity and fractured approach to violence and retaliation, though Noé is far more formally aggressive and explicit than Denis.
05
The Headless Woman
Why this pick
Martel creates comparable unease from ellipsis, sensory dislocation and social corruption, letting a woman’s uncertain perception make ordinary spaces quietly terrifying.

01 / THE STORY
A little about the film.
Marco Silvestri is a sailor who has cut off ties with most of his family, returns home after the suicide of his brother-in-law. At the urging of his sister, Sandra, who believes that her husband's death was caused by one of their creditors, Marco tries to avenge his family. He moves into an apartment above the one occupied by the creditor, Edouard Laporte, and begins an affair with his wife, Raphaëlle. Marco discovers that his sister is deep in debt and that his niece, Justine, has been hospitalized and might need reconstructive surgery as her vagina has been badly damaged. After some investigation he believes that Edouard was the one who injured his niece by penetrating her with a corn cob.
