Buffalo '66 (1998): A Most Uncomfortable Love Story

Ben and Rob abduct ‘Buffalo 66’, Vincent Gallo’s 1998 cult drama that sits uncomfortably between love story, character study and anti movie. Starring Vincent Gallo, Christina Ricci, Ben Gazzara, Mickey Rourke and Anjelica Huston, Buffalo 66 follows a deeply broken man staging a fake relationship to impress his parents, while quietly becoming one of the strangest and most divisive romantic films of its era.What makes Buffalo 66 so unconventional when compared to traditional romantic dramas; why is this film so intensely polarising for audiences; and how much of its discomfort is deliberate rather than accidental? How does the insane real life persona of Vincent Gallo bleed into the film itself; where does performance end and self mythologising begin; and what does Buffalo 66 really mean when stripped of its controversy and reputation?CONSUUUME to find out all this and much, much more!
