VINCENT GALLO IS FROM BUFFALO: ONE OF CINEMA, ART AND LOVE

 VINCENT GALLO IS FROM BUFFALO: ONE OF CINEMA, ART AND LOVE 

Year 1998. Buffalo '66, an American film that is close to two hours is starring, directed, scored a by Vincent Gallo, with nervous photography by Lance Acord.

 which ultimately fits like a rough glove to my desire to be a redskin, the one that comes to the fore when I contemplate decidedly strange, different, unclassifiable works of art, more unique than unique.

 I also read that Gallo is also a painter and, yes, a model (mannequin, who wears models, I mean).

 Also, I learn that he is from Buffalo, the city that is the blurred and concrete area where this unclassifiable film takes place.

But if there is a true artistic star in this entire film, that is Christina Ricci, for me the true protagonist of this relaxed brutal love story, which is splendid, especially if we take into account that she had to respond to a mediocre actor who only has (and it is not little) its wild and schizoid magnetic attractiveness. 

Other actors, quite clueless or quite exaggerated in their difficult dolly pantomime roles, are Ben Gazzara, Mickey Rourke, Rosanna Arquette and a very affected Anjelica Huston.

I'm telling you, Buffalo '66 is all about needing love. And how difficult it is to deserve it, earn it, request it. Especially when the past has done its thing with you. Oh, those dislocated childhoods under the ferule of imbecile parents!

Casimiro (Mirito) Torreiro (signing as M. Torreiro) wrote in El País at the time that Buffalo '66 "is something like the summary of US independent cinema with solid characters, situations made for more than just adorning the action , with deep inner tears that project critiques of the American way of life." I don't know. It may be so.

By the way, Vincent Gallo has openly recognized himself as an admirer of Donald Trump. There he left it.
