THE BROWN BUNNY

Directed by: Vincent Gallo
Released: 2003

i'm sorry, this was a boring, pretentious piece of shit. i like vincent gallo a fair amount, and i remember being amused by the controversy that this movie caused at cannes and afterward, but fucking hell, this was NOT a good film. a quick summary: vincent gallo drives a van for 80 minutes, talks to/makes out with a couple girls along the way, meets up with his ex (chloe sevigny), they talk, she goes down on him , roll credits. obviously i'm reviewing it like an asshole and there's more to it than that-- but not MUCH more. i will say the final scene was good... not even the blowjob part, but what you find out before and afterward. and i liked a lot of the shots, as well as gallo's choice to shoot on 16mm. other than that? crap. and yes, i "get" it... he's alone, he's sad and lonely and regrets a particular choice he made in his life, he's searching for love with other girls but can't get that first one out of his head.. blah blah blah. it's still crap. 3/10.
