The Films of Vincent Gallo

[Shep]

I recently rewatched Gallo's "Buffalo 66" on tv and enjoyed it (especially Ben Gazzara's performance as the father) and I did a quick google search to see if Vincent Gallo had written/directed anything else.

Has anyone seen any of his other films/shorts? If so, are they any good?

Thanks,
Shep

The Brown Bunny is awful...pretentious, meandering and overblown. And by overblown I am not talking about Chloe Sevigny's infamous scene.

I should probably be more specific. . .

Gallo (or more appropriately his character) is the most whiny, difficult-to-like person ever put on film. There are long stretches of the movie where literally NOTHING HAPPENS. We get to see bugs hit the windshield of his motorcycle for minutes on end. And then, when he finally tracks down the love of his life it turns into a silent hardcore porn movie. And this is after he cut 30 minutes out of it.

Hit yourself in the face with a frying pan, youtube the infamous scene and you'll get the same experience in much less time.

Buffalo '66 is a masterpiece as far as I'm concerned. The editing in that film is what initially got my attention, there are so many cool/interesting techniques throughout (i.e. the transition of the flashback scenes). Great performances from a great cast, although Christina Ricci was pretty terrible.
