Romance: BUFFALO '66

Although unconventional and unfromal, Buffalo '66 starring Vincednt Gallo ( Brown Bunny) and Christina Ricci (Pumpkin) is a great romance story. It's very different than one might expect when they are expecting a traditional in-your-face love story. The firt time I had seen this film I didn't realize it would turn into such a great love story. The movie is basically about a man (Vincent Gallo) who has just been freed from prison. He kidnapps a tap dancer ( Christina Ricci) and 'forces' her to pretend to be his wife when they go to visit Vincent Gallo's parents in order to impress them. His parents don't even know that he has been in jail for the past five years. This movie has some excellent shots. It is an older film now. It looks like it has technicolor. It is a bit artistic, but at times rediculously laugh-out-loud funny. It shows great perspective and insight on the ver odd, lonely, and extremely flawed characters. I encourage evryone to watch the attached link. It is a short clip of one of my favorites scenes from the movie.
