    Just read an article about the new movie from Vincent Gallo called "Brown Bunny" which was shown in Cannes.

    The movie contains a scene where Chloe Sevigny is giving head to Vincent Gallo. The point is that no details are hidden and therefore even the Frenchies found it quite offending.

    I really enjoy the films from Vincent Gallo (the funeral, Buffalo 66, Palookaville, etc.) and I also guess that I will not be offended about such a scene.

    V. Gallo replied after he has been asked why he showed the "scene" so detailed: "It has to be shown this way - otherwise it would not have been right."

    Personnally I can accept such decisions by artists and also think that there are always peoples/artists needed to step over the norm.

    Any thoughts or any additional info on the movie? Thanks.

    'I'll Quit,' Vows Gallo After Brown Bunny Boos

    By Catherine Bremer

    CANNES, France (Reuters) - U.S. director Vincent Gallo (news) is so hurt by the scathing reaction to his film "The Brown Bunny," that he has vowed to make it his last.

    Slideshow: Cannes Film Festival




    "I'll never make another movie again. I mean it," Gallo told Reuters, after his road movie had a disastrous reception at the Cannes film festival (news - web sites) and he was booed at a press conference.


    "Being booed at was not much fun. It's really not very nice that people are so nasty. I'm very disappointed," he said early on Friday at the star-studded amfAR AIDS (news - web sites) fund-raiser.


    Gallo, going through what he says is the worst week in his life, has also apologized to those who financed the film.


    "It is a disaster of a film and it was a waste of time. I apologize to the financiers, but it was never my intention to make a pretentious film, a self-indulgent film, a useless film, an unengaging film," he said.


    Critics guffawed openly at the screening of "The Brown Bunny," which Gallo wrote, directed, produced and starred in, and groaned at the highly graphic oral sex scene at the end.


    Many found the long driving scenes interminable and monotonous and the symbolic use of a toy rabbit plain just silly.


    Screen International has ranked the film the worst of the 20 films competing for this year's Palme d'Or.


    "Vincent Gallo's monumental folly has already become a defining moment in Cannes history. Awestruck future generations will ask: 'Were you there the night they screened The Brown Bunny?"' one of the magazine's critics wrote Friday. A clearly depressed Gallo said he had hardly been able to face his friends since Cannes critics, bored by what they say is a miserable harvest of films, started laying into his movie.


    "If my film is not comprehensible to people then I have failed in my purpose. I am disappointed that once again, what I like is unpopular. I can only apologize to the people who feel they have wasted their time," he said

    Just because he had a failure doesn't mean that he should quit, he should just go out there and try again to succeed.

    If he came out with a good movie next year, nobody would remember this one.

    Every director, actor, musician, artist, painter, writer....every one of them puts a stinker out there sometimes.

    The great ones come back and exceed excellence the next time.

    That makes me sad. He seems like a nice guy...people can be such assholes in those kinds of situations. Bunch of pretentious pricks.

    I saw Buffalo 66 which he directed and starred in and thought it was ridiculously bad. Extremely high cringe factor.

    is it a coincidence that in his own movie, he's the one who gets a bj? i wouldn't be suprised if he made the movie for the sole purpose of getting one. ;)

    There are easier ways to get a blowjob. Plenty of local escorts are happy to perform the service for $50.

    ......or so I've heard. :cool:
