Christina Ricci was 17 during the filming of Buffalo 66, and has vowed never to work with Gallo again. “I spent most of that movie trapped in a car with a raving lunatic.” And Gallo said of her: "an ungrateful c--t, basically a puppet. I told her what to do, and she did it."
He literally tells her what to do in the movie so I totally believe him when he says she was a puppet. Not really a bad thing as an actress she was just taking directions from the director. I do think he should of been nicer to her. At the end of the day she was a famous actress who was willing to work in his movie while he was unknown so she was doing him a favour. He tends to put all of this work into becoming a successful celebrity but then he can’t help himself but treat people like shit especially women. Have you seen the clip about what Courtney cox says about him? I almost feel she would sleep with him if he played his cards right. She’s way too hot and successful for him but good in him if he ever did manage to Mack her. I mean what an accomplishment and also it provides hope for the rest of us lol.
@@antagonistlover Although she seems a bit too famous for him I believe you. There's not much info about it online at least on the 30 seconds I bothered to spend researching. Looks wise it makes sense.
Vincent Gallo is an master auteur. Back in 1998, my father went to a theater and saw Buffalo 66. He then told me about it and recommended that I see it. We ended up seeing it together. I enjoyed it! My dad died 13 years ago. I still remember the day I saw this movie with him. I thank Vincent Gallo for making this movie, and my father for telling me about it, and going to see it with me.
I cant believe you left out that he ended hooking up with "Star" Burton, Charles Manson's last girlfriend and almost wife, a fact that tells you where his mind really is.
@@sebm3029 Actually, I think I mispoke. They were just lovers the last time I heard about it, in an interview with Tom O'Neil, author of "Chaos" a great book about the manson killings and possible CIA connections.
Buffalo 66 is easily one of my favourite movies. I could watch it over and over. It's shot on film that no longer exists, so it's unique right from the roots. It is truly art on film. I've never seen another movie like it. Even the colour palette is perfect.
@@gallofilm The 35mm reversal stock film that this movie was shot on, was discontinued years ago. You may be able to find reversal stock, but you won't find this. It no longer exists. Research friend x
It's such a special film. Idk if we'll ever see anything like it again, in the 90's you could make an indy film like that which would make money and be seen by a lot ppl, and it could be eccentric and unique. People wanted that. These days, indy films are mostly crap and just do what they think the audience wants, I don't see the singular vision anymore. I don't see vulnerability in the script or vision in the direction and photography. At some point, I hope I do see things change and we see a real art film again, but idk if, quite literally, the human capital is there. Western society has changed so much since the 90's, there are simply fewer people who can make such things.
@@landofthesilverpath5823 I think even back then this film had quite a mixed reception, people weren't too excited about it and I think Vincent felt like he was wasting money making movies that didn't ever make the money back, and that were harshly criticised by people who just..didn't like indie film. Which Is actually insane to me. You'd think that back then people were cooler, but a lot weren't. It's genuinely crazy to me that audiences now and then didn't go crazy for it. To me it's timeless anyway, and I think as time passes it ages like fine wine. I think he stopped showing movies publicly too and just started making stuff basically to show his friends and went reclusive. He never ever received much praise for anything other than from indie lovers. But I agree totally, no one would even bother making a film truly based on their own unique vision, without pandering to the audience. It takes integrity out of film. We have the industry as a whole to blame for that, bc since the start the film corporations only cared about entertainment and money. Not about art. So the films that make money are the ones that will keep being churned out, leaving no room for proper grassroots indie directors. I swear these days I find short films made my media students to be more creative and gripping than a lot of professionally directed movies. I love seeing artistic vision, i love seeing a person's unique take and creation.
4:45 In an interview, argentinian actor Rodrigo De La Serna spoke about an incident with Vincent. They were acting for a Francis Ford Coppola movie, and between takes, from out of nowhere, Vincent started insulting Rodrigo with homophobic slurs and said what can roughly be translated as: "You people in this shit country are like monkeys, waiting for someone like me to throw a banana and see you fight each other. If you want to work in my country, I stick you and your family in a cage, take you home and maybe then I'd give you a job". Source: "Rodrigo De La Serna cuenta cuando le pego al actor Vincent Gallo" on YT.
I remember actress Christina Ricci who was more prominant in the late 90s and early 2000s worked with Vicent Gallo on movie Buffalo '66 movie and in an interview said that he was utterly crazy andwouldn't work with him again.
I remember back in 2003 that I used to frequent his website and today it is exactly the same. The only addition I see is the instagram link. I love the old-fashioned aesthetic that it retains and I hope it stays that way.
Some interesting trivia you may agree with after reading this: He's a self made multi millionaire (according to him) from property. Also, he claims to have $7 Million worth of real estate in New York which he doesn't even rent out for some reason which would obviously earn him alot of passive income. He has the largest provate collection of vintage stereo equipment in the USA (Again, so he says). He's a bit of an eccentric for sure. I mean look at his hair lol. He has a bit of a mad artist vibe about him which I think he kinda digs or would dig if i told him that.
Sicilians aren’t mixed with bIack. Don’t get your genetic data from True Romance. Sicilian DNA is over 90% of typical European components (Early European Farmer, Western Hunter-Gatherer, &, Western Steppe Herder). The other 5-10% was contributed by North African Berbers & Middle Easterners (Neolithic Iranian & Levantine Natufian).
I watched Buffalo '66 when it came out. It's a great film but thoroughly uncomfortable to watch. In hindsight, and knowing a bit more about Vincent Gallo, it's a bit more troubling. There's nothing wrong with being weird and, indeed, I actively encourage it, but VG verges into being disturbing and disturbed. I don't think he's dangerous or anything, but he sure is fucked up.
I'm 99% certain the only reason he's never been accused of anything post-MeToo is because he pretty much gave up on his career after The Brown Bunny. He basically cancelled himself.
I literally started crying with laughter when his sperm selling got all Nazi related. It went from “okay this guy is just a weird artist who’s trying to be strange and stand out with some outrageous humor” to “this is a legitimately insane human being”
Gallo lived on my block when I used to live on Elizabeth St. I don't know what happened to him but he was a cool dude back then, I even went to his apartment a few times, than he move to Cali and would come back like once a year to check out that apartment on Elizabeth St. but that was like 20 years ago and I haven't seen him since. We all knew him in the neighborhood and he was down with all my Dominicans and Puerto Rican buddies. I never seen him as this rightwing lunatic, at least I never noticed that about him during that time.
He was raised at a time and place where some would consider "America Was Great", in the type of upbringing that is today rightfully considered to be disturbing, sick, and abusive - both psychologically and physical. if you ask older people, you'll find a common trait: That they left their home as soon as they could, typically as early as between 14-16, to a large city, as they had planned it for a long time, not willing to continue to tolerate the abuse at home. This is what happened to Vincent Gallo. Such type of upbringing damages the psyche to people in such ways that later in life are manifested in behavior and beliefs. Whether in the films or in real life - even if were your next door neighbor - it is unlikely you'd ever find any trace of human warmth in the behavior or speech of the man, not because he's evil or a fascist, but because of the severe damage done to him by his parents. "Old School" fathers, no matter the ethnic, national or religious background, tended to be brutal with their kids, as they followed the obscene patterns of their own past. Fortunately men today are largely changing for the better, despite the occasional loud assholes you'd read about or see on videos or TV. It makes a father more manly to be soft and patient than hard , brutal and unforgiving, to cover up their own deficiencies through cowardly and abusive ways. And when they get old, all men will reap what they've sown, even the most macho ones. For Vincent Gallo I feel admiration as a filmmaker, and pity as a man.

Buffalo 66 is a MASTERPIECE ! Saw it when it came out in the first theatre in this country , a historical landmark as they played many new indie movies , it had an enormous effect on me as an artist and was highly influential !
Every so often i'll put Vince's name into the ol' UA-cam search, to see if hipsters are stil lauding and hating... People love him and celebrate his cinematic genius and people hate him, thinking he thinks he's some kind of cinematic genius. Really he's a workingman's writer, director, actor, musician, artist, collector... He could have been (dare I say) a top tier standup/social commentator but believe it or not, he doesn't give a shit about fame or adoration...he's not less famous than he could have been or avoiding "selling-out" or whatever... If you think he's hiding because of Brown Bunny, think again... I mean, after all did you see how he mailed in his "performance" in that Courtney Cox "film". He made a few hundred thousand dollars in a few weeks, which was the point. He doesn't give a shit, which is also the point. He is funny as fuck and sharp as a whip.
I was born in 67. RIGHT after the "summer of love" . Now i had walked past the VHS box for B66 so many times , i also bad vibe from it . Years later i read a comment about CR dancing to "Moonchild" which is a King Crimson song in the film . Now i know good music and Crimson is GREAT music . its some of the most challenging yet rewarding music in existence . i am a HUGE huge huge huge adrian belew fan as well . So i put this thing on really late one night , my wife was asleep on the couch next to me . Saying that the movie blew my mind would be an understatement, words do not exist for how hard i got off on it , i mean i was also repulsed at the way he treated her but eventually it got to the point i was laughing - defense mech kicked in . i remember watching again. then the next day - i immediately forced my wife to watch it , and burned dvd copys for some of my friends , including my old singer pal who had grown up in a household where they WORSHIPED the NFL . He absolutely loved it too . there was a handful of people i gave it to who never said anything to me about it . they more than likely did not watch it , you know how people are - horses - water . it is one of those movies you just HAVE to see . i am stoked to watch your video learn more , and i am looking forward to watching BB but i have to say - same thing .i remember being totally put off by reading the back of the dvd cover for that one and when this occured it was BEFORE i had watched B66 . i gotta say that scene where she dances is one of the coolest arty things i ever saw in a movie , but the whole bowling alley scene was perfect . such a great movie , i want to watch it again right now . i am not a movie nut either . it was just this thing - with the dad singing - i was so moved . you just wont find a better film but also a polarizing one . i could see a lot of alpha male dickish types not being able to stomach reality . i am not a cuck but i also never would treat anyone like VG acted in this movie . When you see the dad its apple/tree and omg the mom was perfect too . what a great movie . ok - i just got to the part where you said -top ten - and masterpiece - right on my man , right on . it wasnt just me .
I met Vincent Gallo when he played live at Juanita's in Little Rock in 2010. If you haven't heard his music, check it out. It's excellent. He was very nice and willing to talk for a few minutes. We talked about smoking tobacco pipes as teenagers, specifically cherry tobacco. Said he had a corncob pipe he used to smoke as a kid. I used to ride around in the mountains with my best friend listening to Gallo's music on CD and told him that story. He thanked me for sharing it and shook my hand. A charming guy. Not what I expected
He’s a controversial person, honestly I can’t say how much is like this as person and how much he has created a character to play in life, maybe he exaggerates sometimes to provoke. I wouldn’t be surprised if he has created a character in real life because he’s very talented. I have seen buffalo 66. Never seen nothing like this. The movie is clearly autobiographic in part, his suffering and struggles are touching. I have noticed that in some interviews he’s contradictory as many topics for example his parents, sometimes he describes them as abusive sometimes not, he says he had a great childhood maybe sometimes a little bit severe. In that case I had the feeling he was hiding something, maybe liying for shame, he didn’t feel to be vulnerable in that interview. My opinion is that he’s very fragile, he had a difficult past and a difficult period after the brown bunny, and sometimes he acts like he doesn’t care about anything but his egocentrism is a mask to offset his fragilities. He’s a genius in a controversial and interesting way.
I think he exaggerates in order to sound interesting. You can’t be a dull celebrity can you. That’s why he says the things about his parents when I’m sure they were actually a lot nicer and way less abusive. You look quite attractive yourself, where are you from Cristina? He kinda reminds me of Quintin Tarantino bit. Like his looks and the way he acts and behaves. They are both southern Italian so that’s the reason. He’s self conscious because he’s ugly. I’m not sounding mean but that’s the reason. It’s that simple. He even talks about how his dad called him a retard for wanting to be an actor when he doesn’t have the face for it which actually is nonsense Becuase acting isn’t about being good looking. He’s talented, creative and smart for sure and a hard worker so he’s claimed. He said he was the smartest in his school which I can almost believe. As for buffalo 66. It’s hard to find so I tried watching in using an online free movies site and yea it’s not a bad movie. Especially considering he did everything himself. His acting isn’t the greatest. Sometimes it looks as if he’s not even acting he’s just being real which I don’t like but at the same time think it’s refreshing, something different and new and kinda cool to see. His relationship with Cristina Ricci is interesting to watch. The ending is IMO is where the movie is at it’s best although his acting and directing needs improving m for sure. I could go on and go about him but I’ll keep it short (relatively) for your sake. I hope you read my comment and respond as I enjoy not only watching him and his work but talking to others about him. My names Nick btw :).
I was surprised and a bit shocked he used his real parents and actually the large chunk of the movie with them I found boring. I’ve only seen the film once and often I’ve realised sometimes a movie grows on me. So I may not like it at first but then come to really like it and even appreciate how good it may be. I have an idea for a short movie myself. It’s kinda like a cross between the movie straight time starring Dustin Hoffman and reservoir dogs (straight time influenced Tarantino to make reservoir dogs if you didn’t know). Also my short has its own m aesthetics and style but no doubt I’ve been influenced by tarts Tunis movies as I enjoy them very much. I’ve also wanted to learn and study and watch Elias Kazan’s movies as I think he’s one of the great film directors. He heavily influenced Scorsese.
@@Anonymous-wk9zg hi Nick! Honestly I think that Vincent is very handsome, his face is interesting and intense and his eyes are unbelievable, I find him very attractive. I personally think that his parents were abusive because of his strange, contradictory, and avoidant behaviour, but who knows maybe he’s exaggerating or inventing to result more interesting. Yes I think that movie was genial in some parts, I have loved the character that he created, very fragile and broken because of his past. Btw I’m Italian 😊
He certainly has strong facial feature in a masculine sense. The hip hop part of the video is the best I’ve ever seen him looks wise and also his hairstyle and beard does nothing for him. He’d defiantly look better with the right haircut. Yea I agree about his eyes for sure they are surprisingly bright and the colour also for a Sicilian. I remember that was one of the first things that drew me to him was his unusual eye colour for his ethnicity. I definite envy him a bit about that. My eyes aren’t dark though. What time is it where your from? It’s very late where I am and I appreciate and love how quickly you’ve replied :).
when u have similar life childhood and growing up u can understand it all. the movies and all .he isn't bad person but was raised as one.Buffalo 66 is such a deep movie.It's sad how its probably just few people who really understand it
I saw Buffallo 66 in my early twenties and it instantly became my favourite movie, I watched it many times since, I also fell in love with Vincent , he's so damn charismatic!
I’m a fan of both of Gallo’s commercially released feature films. The Brown Bunny has a lot in common in terms of feel and style with Two-Lane Blacktop (Monte Hellman’s wonderful 1971 existential road movie). There isn’t enough appreciation for Gallo as an actor. He always gives a dynamic performance. I thought it was a shame that he didn’t get more screen time in Goodfellas. Also, I enjoyed his antics in calling out Hollywood celebrities for being phoneys. Whilst I don’t agree with his politics, at least he hasn’t phoned it in, like so many do.
16:44 he’s doing fine. He’s made millions in real estate and seems happy. He has a completed third film that he refuses to show anyone. Nice guy too. Met him a few years ago through mutual friends. He’s living his best life.
I don't remember seeing a film such as this one. It's simply something else. This guy is a genius, a madman or both. And Christina Ricci was superb both physically and as an actress. Pushed from behind by Gallo or not, she did really well. A collection film.
I love The Brown Bunny, and I'm definitely gonna check out Buffalo 66 too. In Europe (Holland) lots of people have the Brown Bunny on DVD, it's a fine peace of work.
Vince and I were close in our late teens. I am still in contact with him. He's a good man if you get to know him. This video makes me laugh...in a good way.
I'm also from Buffalo, I co-wrote and played the lead in the indie film Blood Prism, Vincent and Buffalo '66 served as inspiration for me while writing and developing my main character ☺️
If all you walk away with from The Brown Bunny is the BJ scene, then you missed the whole point of the film, I thought it was a beautiful heartfelt film, difficult to watch a second time, knowing the ending, not a film for an audience, you have to watch it on your own, one of the bravest movies ever.
You don’t understand why the website looks good imo and are missing the visual appeal of the website. It’s not meant to look like an ordinary website. I was blown away by his website when I first saw it and I personally think it’s a very good example of modern Graphic Design.
Brown bunny was an awful follow up to the classic buffalo 66. He directed a 3rd movie called promises written in water but he never released it. Have you heard the album he released? It was pretty decent.
Artists should be the dictators of societies. And I mean REAL artists. People like Gallo and that guy from Austria..... Gallo's website, is the most hilarious and awesome thing I've seen. I had forgotten about Gallo for a while, but a good friend of mine mentioned him and his website years ago, and we both talked for a long time about how much we loved it as a piece of art. Because yes, IT IS ART. And also as a political provocation. Because it is as much a provocation as it is an artistsic statement Yes, I am far-right. And the mugshots of him call to mind the mugshot of the conspirators who killed Lincoln(heroes).
Also I would recommend watching the film Trouble Every Day by Claire Dennis starring Vincent. Claire Dennis is like a female version of Vincent in a way. Unorthodox. Thought-provoking. Addictive.
It’s a mystery to me why he’s not prolific as an actor, as he has a very unique quality. Maybe Brown Bunny really did destroy his career. However, it didn’t interrupt his success as a fashion model. Meanwhile, Buffalo ‘66 and his album When show great promise. I agree with you that he’s “insanely talented,” and hope he figures out how to make a comeback.
That web sight is Vincent Gallo's attempt at outrageous humor. He has friends of every race,gender and religion. He gets a kick out of irritating people. Trust me, he has gorgeous girlfriends, he doesn't prostitute himself. I used to live and work in Hollywood and knew him somewhat. He and I crossed paths during his modeling phase, I am a model and would see him at fashion shows. He is a character that is for sure. A bit of a madman. A tortured genius. Love from Paris, Pia Paradis
I thought Buffalo '66 was pretty good, definitely worth revisiting sometime. I learned about it through a mention in a random UA-cam-recommended song "Wet Dream".
I first saw VG in ‘Arizona Dream’ by Emir Kustarica- in my opinion his character absolutely steals the show. I went to see ‘Buffalo 66’ with two friends. I utterly loved him berating CR in the car scene. And his directing of them both in the Photo Booth scene. Loved B66- my friends were thoroughly annoyed by the character on screen.
Love the movie, Buffalo 66, and watched it a few times. Loved it each time better. However, now knowing about him (Vincent Galo) as a real person that he is, from this episode, I just wonder how his "lunatic" can come up with such a great movie!
I think his whole public life is a work of art, a performance, sort of like Andy Kaufman. There's been a few interviews where you can see he knows what he's doing and it's an act. I find him extremely entertaining and honest. What he said about Angelica Huston rings true. Christina Ricci seems exactly like he said.
I don't think you said The worse part of the Brown Bunny movie marketing. It's unedited Billboard for the movie and soundtrack show's the scene of himself being blown hung up over the public for everyone to see just down the street from an elementary school....yeah, outraged people had it taken down. Btw the four hour unedited version of the Brown bunny film got panned. The edited version is actually a masterpiece plus my favorite musicians of all time is In the soundtrack.
I have to disagree with your take on The Brown Bunny. It is a subtle masterpiece of grief and loneliness. Is it a bit self indulgent? Yes, but that's kind of the point. The man can't see outside of his own trauma, loneliness and grief. He is seeking companionship that is no longer there. He is jealous over a woman who is dead. Feelings are not always logical. The man can't sit still. He is miserable. The long driving scenes are actually rather beautiful. With or without music. We get to feel the lonely isolation that he feels constantly, except his is much worse. He lost the love of his life and his unborn child.
Ah, no. Regarding the title of the video, no: Gallo doesn’t stand a chance against Werner Herzog or Michael Curtiz or Kenneth Anger or Fritz Lang. Gallo is in the league of Tom Green, maybe of Spike Jonze if I’m generous. Maybe the most “unapologetic pedantic hipster” but not the craziest.
Make a video of filmmaker Fabrizio Federico hes even more nuts! Arson charges, stabbed with a fork, edits blind folded, kidnapped someone from a scientology centre!
I saw Buffalo '66 in the eatly 2000s. I had no idea who Vincent Gallo was, but yeah, I still rate it in my top 10 films of all time - its brilliant on so many levels. Now, knowing the crazy man behind the film seems to be, I have to wonder - is he actually taking the piss? I mean, he is clearly a really intelligent and talented dude. His website is either a hilarious shit take created by the greatest Edge Lord that ever lived, or an absolutely terrifying view into the mind of a very deranged man. I really want to believe he's just taking the piss... But I really don't know. Either way, Buffalo 66 is just fucking incredible, and one hell of a legacy to gift to the world of cinema.
I caught Buffalo 66 on cable in the 90s, i forgot how much this movie pissed me off, i cant count the times i busted in the local tap dance hall an forcefully took me a Wednesday Addams. Yo said please hold me im scared, but dont touch me! We spand time together, but we dont kiss. We spand time! that shitte had me dying.
He literally said he did that scene because he had a crush in Chloe and wanted that in real life. So he put it in there to make it seem like a legit acting choice for Chloe. Wouldn't exactly call that 100% fully consensual. She was an actress just starting out and was prob made to think if she didn't do it, she wouldn't be successful.
I doubt this nonsense. this dude was a model for high fashion. She was in it for the big D! This crew of people were from NYC club /art/drug high society...giving a blow job wasnt a big deal on camera..at all.. I am absolutely sure this was nothing compared to all the hi-jinks they have all been into..
His website hasn’t change a bit for almost 20 years.
For real.
That makes it cool though. Like it’s preserved and like stepping back in time. It does have a certain cool style about it although I totally agree how disappointing and rubbish it is. Clearly he hasn’t put a lot of effort into it.

Yeah and that was a loosely autobiographical film
Christina Ricci was 17 during the filming of Buffalo 66, and has vowed never to work with Gallo again. “I spent most of that movie trapped in a car with a raving lunatic.” And Gallo said of her: "an ungrateful c--t, basically a puppet. I told her what to do, and she did it."
He literally tells her what to do in the movie so I totally believe him when he says she was a puppet.
Not really a bad thing as an actress she was just taking directions from the director.
I do think he should of been nicer to her.
At the end of the day she was a famous actress who was willing to work in his movie while he was unknown so she was doing him a favour.
He tends to put all of this work into becoming a successful celebrity but then he can’t help himself but treat people like shit especially women.

But I agree totally, no one would even bother making a film truly based on their own unique vision, without pandering to the audience. It takes integrity out of film. We have the industry as a whole to blame for that, bc since the start the film corporations only cared about entertainment and money. Not about art. So the films that make money are the ones that will keep being churned out, leaving no room for proper grassroots indie directors.
I swear these days I find short films made my media students to be more creative and gripping than a lot of professionally directed movies. I love seeing artistic vision, i love seeing a person's unique take and creation.
4:45 In an interview, argentinian actor Rodrigo De La Serna spoke about an incident with Vincent. They were acting for a Francis Ford Coppola movie, and between takes, from out of nowhere, Vincent started insulting Rodrigo with homophobic slurs and said what can roughly be translated as: "You people in this shit country are like monkeys, waiting for someone like me to throw a banana and see you fight each other. If you want to work in my country, I stick you and your family in a cage, take you home and maybe then I'd give you a job".

I agree 1000% on Buffalo ‘66 and Brown Bunny. Saw ‘66 in theaters the weekend it came out and it was my favorite film for awhile.
Brown Bunny is all about him driving around in a van for 1.5 hours and then Chloe Sevigny sucks him off. That's about as deep as it goes.
@@squamish4244 Yup. It was hard to believe the same guy made both films.
nice it'e one of my favs of all time
I remember actress Christina Ricci who was more prominant in the late 90s and early 2000s worked with Vicent Gallo on movie Buffalo '66 movie and in an interview said that he was utterly crazy andwouldn't work with him again.
I remember back in 2003 that I used to frequent his website and today it is exactly the same. The only addition I see is the instagram link.
I love the old-fashioned aesthetic that it retains and I hope it stays that way.
Some interesting trivia you may agree with after reading this:
He's a self made multi millionaire (according to him) from property. Also, he claims to have $7 Million worth of real estate in New York which he doesn't even rent out for some reason which would obviously earn him alot of passive income.
He has the largest provate collection of vintage stereo equipment in the USA (Again, so he says).
He's a bit of an eccentric for sure. I mean look at his hair lol. He has a bit of a mad artist vibe about him which I think he kinda digs or would dig if i told him that.
He's a buffoon from a post-POP generation who understand how to manufacture fame.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA delulu king
Everyone is slating his website but it's clearly a joke, I'm surprised so many people have taken it out of context.
The irony of a Sicilian not wanting any part of that "integration". 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Sicilians aren’t mixed with bIack. Don’t get your genetic data from True Romance. Sicilian DNA is over 90% of typical European components (Early European Farmer, Western Hunter-Gatherer, &, Western Steppe Herder). The other 5-10% was contributed by North African Berbers & Middle Easterners (Neolithic Iranian & Levantine Natufian).
I watched Buffalo '66 when it came out. It's a great film but thoroughly uncomfortable to watch. In hindsight, and knowing a bit more about Vincent Gallo, it's a bit more troubling. There's nothing wrong with being weird and, indeed, I actively encourage it, but VG verges into being disturbing and disturbed. I don't think he's dangerous or anything, but he sure is fucked up.
I'm 99% certain the only reason he's never been accused of anything post-MeToo is because he pretty much gave up on his career after The Brown Bunny. He basically cancelled himself.
How do you put Kurt Cobain and GG Allin in the same?

I literally started crying with laughter when his sperm selling got all Nazi related. It went from “okay this guy is just a weird artist who’s trying to be strange and stand out with some outrageous humor” to “this is a legitimately insane human being”
Who cares
@Ralph Reilly No. He was crying I witnessed it firsthand
@Ralph Reilly me too we were all there
just a little bit of trolling
He’s batshit
A truly wild and entertaining character to witness.
He truly is man.
Gallo lived on my block when I used to live on Elizabeth St. I don't know what happened to him but he was a cool dude back then, I even went to his apartment a few times, than he move to Cali and would come back like once a year to check out that apartment on Elizabeth St. but that was like 20 years ago and I haven't seen him since. We all knew him in the neighborhood and he was down with all my Dominicans and Puerto Rican buddies. I never seen him as this rightwing lunatic, at least I never noticed that about him during that time.
Everyone is a right-wing lunatic these days, especially when ones saying that is most often a left-wing lunatic 😊
@@LiMortacciSuaSempre I'm not sure if you're implying that I'm a leftwing but I never ever voted in my life, so I'm neither.
He’s a chameleon
He was raised at a time and place where some would consider "America Was Great", in the type of upbringing that is today rightfully considered to be disturbing, sick, and abusive - both psychologically and physical. if you ask older people, you'll find a common trait: That they left their home as soon as they could, typically as early as between 14-16, to a large city, as they had planned it for a long time, not willing to continue to tolerate the abuse at home. This is what happened to Vincent Gallo. Such type of upbringing damages the psyche to people in such ways that later in life are manifested in behavior and beliefs. Whether in the films or in real life - even if were your next door neighbor - it is unlikely you'd ever find any trace of human warmth in the behavior or speech of the man, not because he's evil or a fascist, but because of the severe damage done to him by his parents. "Old School" fathers, no matter the ethnic, national or religious background, tended to be brutal with their kids, as they followed the obscene patterns of their own past. Fortunately men today are largely changing for the better, despite the occasional loud assholes you'd read about or see on videos or TV. It makes a father more manly to be soft and patient than hard , brutal and unforgiving, to cover up their own deficiencies through cowardly and abusive ways. And when they get old, all men will reap what they've sown, even the most macho ones. For Vincent Gallo I feel admiration as a filmmaker, and pity as a man.
Absolutely beautifully put.
Vincent is that you ?

Buffalo 66 is a MASTERPIECE ! Saw it when it came out in the first theatre in this country , a historical landmark as they played many new indie movies , it had an enormous effect on me as an artist and was highly influential !
yes it's a masterpiece
Every so often i'll put Vince's name into the ol' UA-cam search, to see if hipsters are stil lauding and hating... People love him and celebrate his cinematic genius and people hate him, thinking he thinks he's some kind of cinematic genius. Really he's a workingman's writer, director, actor, musician, artist, collector... He could have been (dare I say) a top tier standup/social commentator but believe it or not, he doesn't give a shit about fame or adoration...he's not less famous than he could have been or avoiding "selling-out" or whatever... If you think he's hiding because of Brown Bunny, think again... I mean, after all did you see how he mailed in his "performance" in that Courtney Cox "film". He made a few hundred thousand dollars in a few weeks, which was the point. He doesn't give a shit, which is also the point. He is funny as fuck and sharp as a whip.

I was born in 67. RIGHT after the "summer of love" . Now i had walked past the VHS box for B66 so many times , i also bad vibe from it . Years later i read a comment about CR dancing to "Moonchild" which is a King Crimson song in the film . Now i know good music and Crimson is GREAT music . its some of the most challenging yet rewarding music in existence . i am a HUGE huge huge huge adrian belew fan as well . So i put this thing on really late one night , my wife was asleep on the couch next to me . Saying that the movie blew my mind would be an understatement, words do not exist for how hard i got off on it , i mean i was also repulsed at the way he treated her but eventually it got to the point i was laughing - defense mech kicked in . i remember watching again. then the next day - i immediately forced my wife to watch it , and burned dvd copys for some of my friends , including my old singer pal who had grown up in a household where they WORSHIPED the NFL . He absolutely loved it too . there was a handful of people i gave it to who never said anything to me about it . they more than likely did not watch it , you know how people are - horses - water . it is one of those movies you just HAVE to see . i am stoked to watch your video learn more , and i am looking forward to watching BB but i have to say - same thing .i remember being totally put off by reading the back of the dvd cover for that one and when this occured it was BEFORE i had watched B66 . i gotta say that scene where she dances is one of the coolest arty things i ever saw in a movie , but the whole bowling alley scene was perfect . such a great movie , i want to watch it again right now . i am not a movie nut either . it was just this thing - with the dad singing - i was so moved . you just wont find a better film but also a polarizing one . i could see a lot of alpha male dickish types not being able to stomach reality . i am not a cuck but i also never would treat anyone like VG acted in this movie . When you see the dad its apple/tree and omg the mom was perfect too . what a great movie . ok - i just got to the part where you said -top ten - and masterpiece - right on my man , right on . it wasnt just me .
I met Vincent Gallo when he played live at Juanita's in Little Rock in 2010. If you haven't heard his music, check it out. It's excellent. He was very nice and willing to talk for a few minutes. We talked about smoking tobacco pipes as teenagers, specifically cherry tobacco. Said he had a corncob pipe he used to smoke as a kid. I used to ride around in the mountains with my best friend listening to Gallo's music on CD and told him that story. He thanked me for sharing it and shook my hand. A charming guy. Not what I expected
He’s a controversial person, honestly I can’t say how much is like this as person and how much he has created a character to play in life, maybe he exaggerates sometimes to provoke. I wouldn’t be surprised if he has created a character in real life because he’s very talented. I have seen buffalo 66. Never seen nothing like this. The movie is clearly autobiographic in part, his suffering and struggles are touching. I have noticed that in some interviews he’s contradictory as many topics for example his parents, sometimes he describes them as abusive sometimes not, he says he had a great childhood maybe sometimes a little bit severe. In that case I had the feeling he was hiding something, maybe liying for shame, he didn’t feel to be vulnerable in that interview. My opinion is that he’s very fragile, he had a difficult past and a difficult period after the brown bunny, and sometimes he acts like he doesn’t care about anything but his egocentrism is a mask to offset his fragilities. He’s a genius in a controversial and interesting way.
I absolutely agree.
I think he exaggerates in order to sound interesting. You can’t be a dull celebrity can you. That’s why he says the things about his parents when I’m sure they were actually a lot nicer and way less abusive.
You look quite attractive yourself, where are you from Cristina?
He kinda reminds me of Quintin Tarantino bit. Like his looks and the way he acts and behaves. They are both southern Italian so that’s the reason.
He’s self conscious because he’s ugly. I’m not sounding mean but that’s the reason. It’s that simple. He even talks about how his dad called him a retard for wanting to be an actor when he doesn’t have the face for it which actually is nonsense Becuase acting isn’t about being good looking. He’s talented, creative and smart for sure and a hard worker so he’s claimed. He said he was the smartest in his school which I can almost believe.
As for buffalo 66. It’s hard to find so I tried watching in using an online free movies site and yea it’s not a bad movie. Especially considering he did everything himself. His acting isn’t the greatest. Sometimes it looks as if he’s not even acting he’s just being real which I don’t like but at the same time think it’s refreshing, something different and new and kinda cool to see. His relationship with Cristina Ricci is interesting to watch. The ending is IMO is where the movie is at it’s best although his acting and directing needs improving m for sure. I could go on and go about him but I’ll keep it short (relatively) for your sake. I hope you read my comment and respond as I enjoy not only watching him and his work but talking to others about him.
My names Nick btw :).
I was surprised and a bit shocked he used his real parents and actually the large chunk of the movie with them I found boring. I’ve only seen the film once and often I’ve realised sometimes a movie grows on me. So I may not like it at first but then come to really like it and even appreciate how good it may be. I have an idea for a short movie myself. It’s kinda like a cross between the movie straight time starring Dustin Hoffman and reservoir dogs (straight time influenced Tarantino to make reservoir dogs if you didn’t know). Also my short has its own m aesthetics and style but no doubt I’ve been influenced by tarts Tunis movies as I enjoy them very much. I’ve also wanted to learn and study and watch Elias Kazan’s movies as I think he’s one of the great film directors. He heavily influenced Scorsese.
@@Anonymous-wk9zg hi Nick! Honestly I think that Vincent is very handsome, his face is interesting and intense and his eyes are unbelievable, I find him very attractive. I personally think that his parents were abusive because of his strange, contradictory, and avoidant behaviour, but who knows maybe he’s exaggerating or inventing to result more interesting. Yes I think that movie was genial in some parts, I have loved the character that he created, very fragile and broken because of his past. Btw I’m Italian 😊
He certainly has strong facial feature in a masculine sense. The hip hop part of the video is the best I’ve ever seen him looks wise and also his hairstyle and beard does nothing for him. He’d defiantly look better with the right haircut.
Yea I agree about his eyes for sure they are surprisingly bright and the colour also for a Sicilian. I remember that was one of the first things that drew me to him was his unusual eye colour for his ethnicity. I definite envy him a bit about that. My eyes aren’t dark though.
What time is it where your from? It’s very late where I am and I appreciate and love how quickly you’ve replied :).
when u have similar life childhood and growing up u can understand it all. the movies and all .he isn't bad person but was raised as one.Buffalo 66 is such a deep movie.It's sad how its probably just few people who really understand it

I saw Buffallo 66 in my early twenties and it instantly became my favourite movie, I watched it many times since, I also fell in love with Vincent , he's so damn charismatic!
dudes a case im lowkey a fan buffalo 66 was a dope film great vid bro
great movie for real and thank you so much bro!
I’m a fan of both of Gallo’s commercially released feature films. The Brown Bunny has a lot in common in terms of feel and style with Two-Lane Blacktop (Monte Hellman’s wonderful 1971 existential road movie). There isn’t enough appreciation for Gallo as an actor. He always gives a dynamic performance. I thought it was a shame that he didn’t get more screen time in Goodfellas. Also, I enjoyed his antics in calling out Hollywood celebrities for being phoneys. Whilst I don’t agree with his politics, at least he hasn’t phoned it in, like so many do.
Love Buffalo 66! Vincent reminds me of Joaquin Phoenix. They look similar. But I must say, Joaquin seems to have way more class.
16:44 he’s doing fine. He’s made millions in real estate and seems happy. He has a completed third film that he refuses to show anyone. Nice guy too. Met him a few years ago through mutual friends. He’s living his best life.
That female critic doesn't look like she has a new found respect for him, she looks like she wants to flee the room.
his website looks absolutely fantastic.
Apparently he did all the coding and design himself because he didn't trust anybody else to do it.
"Maybe I don't have the brains for 'The Brown Bunny' "... key-rect! Both his films are top flight.
Buffalo 66 was a great movie. I honestly don't care about anything else.
I don't remember seeing a film such as this one. It's simply something else. This guy is a genius, a madman or both. And Christina Ricci was superb both physically and as an actress. Pushed from behind by Gallo or not, she did really well. A collection film.
She was definitely pushed. And abused.
I love The Brown Bunny, and I'm definitely gonna check out Buffalo 66 too. In Europe (Holland) lots of people have the Brown Bunny on DVD, it's a fine peace of work.
Vince and I were close in our late teens. I am still in contact with him. He's a good man if you get to know him. This video makes me laugh...in a good way.
I'm also from Buffalo, I co-wrote and played the lead in the indie film Blood Prism, Vincent and Buffalo '66 served as inspiration for me while writing and developing my main character ☺️
How do you feel about your good man’s raging racism?
omg I remember looking at his site with my brother and laughing so much about how awful it is and how shitty a person this guy is
Agreed. The guy is a complete and total a-hole.
This is funny and fascinating, dude's a character for sure. Also buffalo 66 fuckin rules. Good shit bro, cheers from Texas.
Thank you bro!
If all you walk away with from The Brown Bunny is the BJ scene, then you missed the whole point of the film, I thought it was a beautiful heartfelt film, difficult to watch a second time, knowing the ending, not a film for an audience, you have to watch it on your own, one of the bravest movies ever.
True words. I feel exactly same way about this film.
the infamous bj scene is the least shocking thing that happens. it's a mind-blowing, brilliant film.
You don’t understand why the website looks good imo and are missing the visual appeal of the website. It’s not meant to look like an ordinary website. I was blown away by his website when I first saw it and I personally think it’s a very good example of modern Graphic Design.
1:10 well I mean he’s kept the same exact design for over 20 years. Respect.
Brown bunny was an awful follow up to the classic buffalo 66. He directed a 3rd movie called promises written in water but he never released it. Have you heard the album he released? It was pretty decent.
i heard some of his music and was pleasantly surprised. as crazy as he is, he's extremely talented. the music i heard was excellent!
Artists should be the dictators of societies. And I mean REAL artists. People like Gallo and that guy from Austria.....
Gallo's website, is the most hilarious and awesome thing I've seen. I had forgotten about Gallo for a while, but a good friend of mine mentioned him and his website years ago, and we both talked for a long time about how much we loved it as a piece of art. Because yes, IT IS ART. And also as a political provocation. Because it is as much a provocation as it is an artistsic statement
Yes, I am far-right. And the mugshots of him call to mind the mugshot of the conspirators who killed Lincoln(heroes).
How can you be "far-right" and not like Lincoln? He wanted to send the slaves back
This is both hilarious and sad.
brown bunny is decent honestly
I've seen it, disappointing, and I'm a fan,only reason to watch, is for the blow job scene,
Nothing better than batshit crazy. I will say "Buffalo '66"is a great movie. which just proves sanity isn't required for art.
You should definitely see him in arisona dream next to Johnny Deep
John Frusciante made soundtrack for brown bunny,newer to be in a movie for some reason...
If Christina Ricci says you're a bad person, then I believe it. She rarely ever says anything bad about anyone.
Also I would recommend watching the film Trouble Every Day by Claire Dennis starring Vincent. Claire Dennis is like a female version of Vincent in a way. Unorthodox. Thought-provoking. Addictive.
He is dressed like Evil Knievel....
Because Gallo raced motorcycles for almost 20 years 😎💥🔥💞💫💖💋
Actually his getup looks more like a USA team Olympic warmup suit. It even says USA on the back
I also like Buffalo '66 but actually think The Brown Bunny is better and is one of my favorite movies of all time
how, plz explain
It’s a mystery to me why he’s not prolific as an actor, as he has a very unique quality. Maybe Brown Bunny really did destroy his career. However, it didn’t interrupt his success as a fashion model. Meanwhile, Buffalo ‘66 and his album When show great promise. I agree with you that he’s “insanely talented,” and hope he figures out how to make a comeback.
Highly unlikely NOW with his views. Which confuse me.
I really liked him in the Kiefer Sutherland directed movie, Truth Or Consequences, N.M.
That web sight is Vincent Gallo's attempt at outrageous humor. He has friends of every race,gender and religion. He gets a kick out of irritating people. Trust me, he has gorgeous girlfriends, he doesn't prostitute himself. I used to live and work in Hollywood and knew him somewhat. He and I crossed paths during his modeling phase, I am a model and would see him at fashion shows. He is a character that is for sure. A bit of a madman. A tortured genius. Love from Paris, Pia Paradis
Wow so cool do you to prostrate yourself and act like a child in describing Gallo
I just watched Buffalo 66 again and I seen some inspiration from David Lynch's Eraserhead. Cool stuff.
Does Vincent also take the std test or is herpes part of the $50k experience.
Vincent Gallo herpes isn’t the same as regular herpes
Buffalo 66' has a Mono Soundtrack! It's my 5th favorite Film!
the brown bunny is good
I thought Buffalo '66 was pretty good, definitely worth revisiting sometime. I learned about it through a mention in a random UA-cam-recommended song "Wet Dream".
He’s the real life version of Billy from Entourage🤷🏾♂️
I first saw VG in ‘Arizona Dream’ by Emir Kustarica- in my opinion his character absolutely steals the show. I went to see ‘Buffalo 66’ with two friends. I utterly loved him berating CR in the car scene. And his directing of them both in the Photo Booth scene. Loved B66- my friends were thoroughly annoyed by the character on screen.
i love buffalo 66 a great film
The film he did with Coppola a few years back was really, really good.
He’s clearly a hipster, no conservative would have a degenerate website like that. That being said Buffalo 66 was pretty good
buffalo '66 has better one liners than any other movie. way ahead of his time, creatively and politically
Buffalo '66 was fantastic !!
Just found it the other day and somehow never heard of it. Amazing movie for sure
I saw Buffalo 66 back in the late 90s. It was all I could talk about for like a year afterwards.
Love the movie, Buffalo 66, and watched it a few times. Loved it each time better. However, now knowing about him (Vincent Galo) as a real person that he is, from this episode, I just wonder how his "lunatic" can come up with such a great movie!
I think his whole public life is a work of art, a performance, sort of like Andy Kaufman. There's been a few interviews where you can see he knows what he's doing and it's an act. I find him extremely entertaining and honest. What he said about Angelica Huston rings true. Christina Ricci seems exactly like he said.
I could definitely see his public persona being a facade. Regardless of who Gallo truly is. Buffalo '66 is a masterpiece.

I don't think you said The worse part of the Brown Bunny movie marketing. It's unedited Billboard for the movie and soundtrack show's the scene of himself being blown hung up over the public for everyone to see just down the street from an elementary school....yeah, outraged people had it taken down. Btw the four hour unedited version of the Brown bunny film got panned. The edited version is actually a masterpiece plus my favorite musicians of all time is In the soundtrack.
You are correct. You "don't have the brains..." (sic) to appreciate THE BROWN BUNNY. The man is a genuine artist/genius and films are fantastic.
Either he is the biggest troll of all time or he's the biggest creep of all time
I have to disagree with your take on The Brown Bunny. It is a subtle masterpiece of grief and loneliness. Is it a bit self indulgent? Yes, but that's kind of the point. The man can't see outside of his own trauma, loneliness and grief. He is seeking companionship that is no longer there. He is jealous over a woman who is dead. Feelings are not always logical. The man can't sit still. He is miserable. The long driving scenes are actually rather beautiful. With or without music. We get to feel the lonely isolation that he feels constantly, except his is much worse. He lost the love of his life and his unborn child.
I wish you would have played some of the clips more I wish I knew what he was actually saying
His website is beautiful.
Ah, no. Regarding the title of the video, no: Gallo doesn’t stand a chance against Werner Herzog or Michael Curtiz or Kenneth Anger or Fritz Lang. Gallo is in the league of Tom Green, maybe of Spike Jonze if I’m generous. Maybe the most “unapologetic pedantic hipster” but not the craziest.
Who do you think Spike Jonze is? lmao

I saw Buffalo '66 in the eatly 2000s. I had no idea who Vincent Gallo was, but yeah, I still rate it in my top 10 films of all time - its brilliant on so many levels.
Now, knowing the crazy man behind the film seems to be, I have to wonder - is he actually taking the piss? I mean, he is clearly a really intelligent and talented dude. His website is either a hilarious shit take created by the greatest Edge Lord that ever lived, or an absolutely terrifying view into the mind of a very deranged man.
I really want to believe he's just taking the piss... But I really don't know. Either way, Buffalo 66 is just fucking incredible, and one hell of a legacy to gift to the world of cinema.
I caught Buffalo 66 on cable in the 90s, i forgot how much this movie pissed me off, i cant count the times i busted in the local tap dance hall an forcefully took me a Wednesday Addams.
Yo said please hold me im scared, but dont touch me!
We spand time together, but we dont kiss. We spand time! that shitte had me dying.
He literally said he did that scene because he had a crush in Chloe and wanted that in real life. So he put it in there to make it seem like a legit acting choice for Chloe. Wouldn't exactly call that 100% fully consensual. She was an actress just starting out and was prob made to think if she didn't do it, she wouldn't be successful.
I doubt this nonsense. this dude was a model for high fashion. She was in it for the big D! This crew of people were from NYC club /art/drug high society...giving a blow job wasnt a big deal on camera..at all.. I am absolutely sure this was nothing compared to all the hi-jinks they have all been into..
Hm... I am pretty sure she was his EX-girlfriend at the time, so what you wrote doesn't make much sense...
