Buffalo 66 (1998) de Vincent Gallo

Primera película de Gallo, quien escribe, dirige, actúa, y hasta compone parte de la música. El personaje Billy Brown es un neurótico genial. La película se vertebra a partir del secuestro de una joven por parte de un ex convicto para hacerla pasar por su esposa ante sus padres, para adentrarse en una mezcla de realismo mágico sucio y cuento de hadas en el que Christina Ricci (sucia y sexy) se enamora de Billy Brown (Vincent Gallo). Va esta reseña sin firma: “This film is as much comedy as it is drama; Billy's scornful attitude and his contemptuous memories are often offset by amusing dialogue and ironic black humor. Buffalo '66 is an indie film with a dirty, minimalist look; it boasts a faded and discoloured visual style thanks to the use of 35mm and (for the flashback scenes) 16mm reversal film stock. This retro look, do it yourself sensibility and the comic mixture of irony and sentimentality, as well as the casting and music, have caused the film to be strongly identified with late-1990s hipster culture"
