i love Buffalo '66 but struggle with The Brown Bunny, which I think is underrated, not great, but has its merits. I like unapologetic, visionary artists who create what they want to because they want to, take risks.
Interesting. I’m kinda the opposite: I love TBB and like B66. My wife REALLY loves the latter, though - it’s like an all-time top five movie for her.
I’d love to see the unreleased movies he’s made since but I also kinda hope he never waivers in his position that he’ll never release them. Extremely admirable power move
It might be in my top 10. She probably super relates to the theme of dysfunctional childhood family trauma hindering her ability to love or be loved (very Elliott Smith), and the power of redemption through new love and acceptance like me, no? powerful and timeless. Also the movie is hilarious.
Don't you find the Brown Bunny to be a bit boring though? I could see like, having it on in the background for mood or whatever while doing something else, love the soundtrack, but until the last scene/revelation I struggle.
I would love to see his other movies. I'm sure they will be released one day. Maybe posthumously, in 20, 30 years or so.

Ha I think you hit the nail on the head
I don’t find Bunny to be boring at all, no. I think it’s beautiful to look at and exploring a lot, which makes it very engaging.

I struggled with that a little (I also struggle watching actors kiss), but I think it's overblown. Pun intended. But anyway it's not like he "forced" her; she knew what she was signing on for.
I’m not sure how much backlash there actually was. I also think there’s an element of arty prankishness behind both of them not denying it was real; you can never really be sure what to believe when it comes to Gallo.
In any case, I don’t care if it’s real or not. It’s a great scene in a great movie and it was made by two willing participants.

I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

When I watched Trash Humpers, Korine came out and introduced the movie and said "if you're the kind of person who walks out during movies please just walk out right now." Nobody did, but then during the screening a bunch of people did.
Wild movie. I'd like to watch it again
