Product Description:
Every day bud is haunted by the same memories of the last time he saw his true love. And every day he tries to find a new love making outrageous requests of women to come with him on his trip & them leaving them behind after theyve agreed. He cant replace daisy - but every day he tries. Studio: Sony Pictures Home Ent Release Date: 08/28/2007 Starring: Vincent Gallo Cheryl Tiegs Run time: 92 minutes Rating: Ur

Amazon.com:
After its scandalous screening at the 2004 Cannes film festival, Vincent Gallo's The Brown Bunny was cut from 118 to 92 minutes, and that made all the difference. The film that critic and long-time Cannes attendee Roger Ebert originally called 'the worst film in the history of the festival' was transformed, by Gallo's judicious editing, into a perfectly acceptable if not universally respected art-house curio, widely criticized yet ripe for cult status, able to stand beside Gallo's Buffalo 66 as the work of a genuine artist with a singular vision. Yes, that vision is self-indulgent, narcissistic, and likely to turn off a majority of viewers with its glacial pace and endless shots of Gallo driving, driving, and driving some more. But in portraying a melancholy motorcycle racer who drives cross-country while mourning a private loss that remains secret until the final scenes, Gallo gives us a character, and a film, that feels spiritually akin to such early '70s classics as Five Easy Pieces and Two-Lane Blacktop. It's a flawed yet ultimately moving example of maverick, unconventional cinema, and while Chloe Sevigny's explicit oral sex scene with Gallo is completely unnecessary, it's just one more element that places The Brown Bunny firmly, and refreshingly, out of the mainstream. --Jeff Shannon

Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - It was odd.....
It was basically mostly about a guy on the road driving for a long time. Way too much road scenes. Although it did have one racy scene.

Vincent Gallo is a talented actor and he has an intriguing story to tell in his film, THE BROWN BUNNY (2005).

Unfortunately, as producer, screenwriter, director, editor and cinematographer of this low budget effort, he has not told his story well.

Had he concentrated ... Read More



Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - The difference between art and high art
There is definitely difference between art and high art. This is an attempt to present art, although not a very good one. The notion of telling a story about how remorse, guilt and grief shapes us in what we are is surely noble. But inserting graphic oral sex scenes to get to the point is totally unnecessary. This film would have been much better if it was presents in series of flashbacks or a third party narrator such as a close friend or a family member. But watching uncomprehensible actions of one ...

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Arthouse sexual abomination and abrasive submission to anguish
This movie will leave you feeling numb.
Seriously, viewers who aren't fond of their safe little comfort zones being horrendously discombobulated and shattered into tiny pieces need to stay far away from this one.

It's about a guy named Bud Clay, who is a competitive motorcycle racer that is constantly running away from his inner demons.
I will admit, much of this movie is uneventful. It just shows Bud wallowing in his own loneliness and detachment as he travels across the country ... Read More



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Wonderful film for a Lonely Person
I read all the reviews before I purchased this movie, so I knew what I was getting into. I thought Vincent did a superb job of putting you in that place; i.e. getting you into the mood of the film and making you feel the same way the character does, much like he did in Buffalo '66. Great to watch alone, especially if you feel like you are out of place, or you feel the primal urge to get in the car and just journey. The film lulls you into a state of complacency, but the end builds into a big crescendo. The 'infamous ... Read More
