Summary of Buffalo '66

An electric directorial debut (seven years in the making) by New York artist/musician/model/actor Vincent Gallo, Buffalo '66 combines the experimental techniques of the French New Wave and the realistic grit of seventies filmmakers such as John Cassavetes, resulting in something inventive and original. Gallo portrays Billy Brown, who has just been let out of jail. Before returning home to visit his parents and murder the kicker who missed the field goal that sent him there in the first place (in order to repay a debt that he didn't have the money to extinguish), he kidnaps a bored ballerina (Christina Ricci) and makes her pretend that she is his wife. Though she doesn't seem to object to the abduction, Billy is emotional, angry, and sensitive. As the trip progresses--including an explosive visit to his childhood home, where his indifferent parents still reside--the two continue bicker back and forth, but begin to form a real bond.

The New York Times

Cool, stark compositions and the occasional audacious visual trick give Buffalo '66 a memorable look even when its narrative enters the occasional uneventful stretch. Full Review

wonderful. I love it.

This is not an ordinary drama, and it's not an ordinary crime film. It's just not an ordinary film. Vincent Gallo's direction is clever and original. Christina Ricci is great here and the plot is so much fun! You could watch it over and over and... Read and rate it
