Considering that Vincent Gallo made a film that i pretty much hated, THE BROWN BUNNY, It's reassuring that he still has made this great film. I really had a ball watching this one. From the opening sequence of him leaving... Full review

No, I didn't misspell that. It stands for "black" and "bleak". Billy Brown (Vincent Gallo) is released from prison, but hours later has not left the bench outside the prison gate. It seems as though he has no place to go... Full review

Never even heard of Gallo: just happened onto this film on IFC one night and totally loved it. The acting was superb, the story even more so; and that camera work! Gallo's character, Billy Brown, was a picture of hate... Full review

And he is. Being from Buffalo myself, this is the best portrayal of Buffalo culture that I have yet to see in a film. Gallo got the accent, the attitudes, the hand gestures, the weather and the local obsession with... Full review

Sprung from jail, Gallo's Billy quickly kidnaps Ricci and orders her to pass herself off as his wife in this absurdist comedy. Seemingly the spawn of Jim Jarmusch and Harmony Korine (who are, in turn, spawn of Cassavetes), Gallo gives... Full review

Buffalo '66 is an amazing and original film: well scripted, scored, cast, directed, and acted by Vincent Gallo.

Buffalo '66 was really original in terms of both plot and style. At moments, the story of Billy Brown's life is so terribly tragic and bizarre, you almost have to break the tension by cracking a laugh. In the film,... Full review
