Fuck. Should say 'a self-indulgent mess' and 'the possibilities.'

This film truly is unique, despite its flaws and its seemingly egocentric approach. Vincent Gallo truly came off as a bastard most of the film, which people have thought of him in real life as well and I could get sick of his outbursts. However, I think the anger and misery in his performance was meant to be honest in order to have a believable sense of reality.

My feelings on the movie were torn for almost the entirety of my viewing experience. I couldn't decide whether it was self-indulgent mess made by a narcissistic, misogynistic prick, or a courageous and personal virtuoso debut from an auteur in love with possibilities afforded in making movies. But man, what a homestretch. Turns out its both.

Like La Belle Noiseuse, an extended dramatisation of the relationship between 'actor/model' and 'director/artist', with Gallo leading Ricci's performance throughout, dictating her actions, defining her personality, posing and prodding until finally, he gets what he wants. It's also an exploration of Gallo's personality: brash, caustic, volatile... yet punctuated by a desperate vulnerability and a need to be loved.

seemed like i should have watched this a long time ago; i felt empathy for both billy and layla and was affected by billy's ability to overcome his "emotional reclusion"; liked the use of spotlights when characters felt detached and/or "in their own world"

Buffalo '66 was a delight to watch. I've never liked Gallo as a person, he's an asshole from what I've seen but he's a talented actor & filmmaker. The performances where ravishing, especially Gallo, he is so damn good as Billy, I bet he portrayed a lot of himself in the character. The cinematography was exceptional, It just looks and plays like a movie dream. It was completely satisfactory, beyond expectations.

First time rewatching this since it came out. Love Ricci. Gallo, what are we going to do with you? I had forgotten about the ending.

I really enjoyed watching this movie. The editing was unique and the cinematography was great. But the best part of this movie is Vincent Gallo as Billy Brown. His interactions with all of the people in his life are hilariously bleak and the writing for the character, perhaps off the top of Gallo's head, is ridiculously good.

Far from clean by any means, but full of heart under all the acidity and abrasiveness. Reminds me of earlier Cassavettes movies.

"I'm asking you to come there and make me look good. Alright? And if you make a fool out of me, I swear to God, I'll kill you right there. Boom! Right in front of Mommy and Daddy. And I'll tell you something else, you make me look bad... I will never ever talk to you again, ever. But if you do a good job, well, then you can be my best friend. My best friend that I've ever had. You hear me?"
