Buffalo '66

"I got a girl. There's a girl who loves me. She's very pretty and she's very nice, and she loves me. So what do you think of that?" the worst men unfortunately make the best art, proven once again. as horrible and weird Vincent Gallo is, I have to say i'm thoroughly impressed by his work. not only starring but directing and acting as composer for this film is so so so impressive. the cinematography is the most uniquely beautiful I have ever seen and I loved every single bit of it. the small windows of the past, the collages of film and the lights. everything about this is so beautiful. the sequences and even that slomo, I adored every single bit of the cinematography. hands down one of my favourites to ever exist. I dont even have the right words to say for the storyline other than it was quite a beautiful progression. a dive into the sad psycho mind of billy brown. have to admit the misogynistic tones and actions of this film, but it felt like true romance 1993 in some ways. they have their flaws but still delivered a great performance. I just have a soft spot for runaways and things like this. the ending was sweet christina ricci is a dream in this. her outfit her blue eyeshadow and everything about her. love this film. very different from what I thought it would be but nonetheless still a good one. // feels like this is the kind of film you'd need to sit on for a while because upon reflection it's better than when i first wrote about this when i had just finished watching it. i was conflicted on whether to give this a 4, 4.5 or 5 but i think this will be bumped up to a 4.5 for now. the more i think about it the more i love it ok and i saw a youtube comment that summed this up pretty well and it was something like "he battles and destroys himself while she falls in love with this vulnerability" and i thought that was beautiful.
