Buffalo 66 Details

Buffalo 66

An electric directorial debut (seven years in the making) by New York artist/musician/model/actor Vincent Gallo. He portrays troubled Billy Brown, who has just been let out of jail on a cold and miserable day. Before returning home to visit his parents and kill the football star who missed the field goal that sent him there in the first place (in order to repay a debt that he didn't have the money to extinguish), he kidnaps a bored girl from her dancing class (Christina Ricci) and makes her pretend that she is his wife. Though she doesn't seem to object to the abduction, Billy is emotional and angry but sensitive. As the trip progresses--including an explosive visit to his childhood homein Buffalo, where his indifferent parents (Ben Gazzara and football obsessed Angelica Huston) still reside--the two continue to bicker like a real couple but begin to form a genuine bond. BUFFALO '66 combines the experimental techniques of the French New Wave and the realistic grit of seventies filmmakers such as John Cassavetes, resulting in an inventive, original and touching love story.
