The Brown Bunny (2003)
This movie is not for all.I mean it this is not for all.I don’t know whether I made a right selection about watching this movie.But I liked this movie for a cause. It was truthful and bold. I read Roger Ebert slammed this movie as the worst movie ever screened in the Cannes film festival for the nonsense way of films pace.And believe it or not Roger Ebert had lost 86 pounds to prove a point in the word war between him and the director Vincent Gallo.Vincento Gallo called Roger Ebert “A fat Pig “for criticizing his movie .The original version is it lacked proper editing and Gallo had to edit 26 minutes from it.I was happy and over whelmed that I could spot that very clearly when I saw the first forty minutes .
Brown Bunny is an independent American movie directed and produced by Vincent Gallo. Bud Clay (Vincent Gallo ) after loosing in a motorcycle travels around in his motor car in the memories of his past lover(Chloë Sevigny)..He meets her finally and argues about her relation with other guys.the film is known for the oral sex scenes when both meet. What ever independent movie it may be when it comes to sex there is level of trick which is performed to look in erotic mood .Here the intentions are very clear to be truthful.Truthful sex when viewed in the windows looks a nonsense and it happens here. Right from the beginning scene the movie takes for surprise and suspense.Its not revealed till some time why Bud Clay curses himself and cries.His honesty to look before female to grab a kiss with out speaking a meaning ful word for the kiss is shocking but its truth to one hundred percent.There are moments when desire doesn’t look at face and origin . Gallo has used his journey to show the level of pain as night and dizzy.But the car travels ,travels and its hard to believe there was only four minutes of dialougues in the whole 120 minutes of movie .
Shot in 35 mm Gallo vividly shows each scenes with level of depth ,The sight where he reached out with the camera is intense and almost extinct .Its the comfort independent movie makers have gained through camera to show a long shot.It is amazing but it irritates when repeated .I can not resist forwarding some travel scenes.
It is really a tough movie to be watched .Unlike the Iranian movie where you know whats happening Vincent Gallo had let no clue for his behaviour.Its not like a conventional movie nor a offbeat movie it’s a class of different genre where the motions are shown at the fullest extinct. I am still confused with the need for to show the emotions commuting back and forth in Gallo through kissing other women. But Gallo stands brave in all the scenes pleading ,smooching,crying ,pleasing .He is not composed and but he shows the calmness through his depression. Viewers till the main scene can take any weird imaginations because the end may be little more insane for the level of explicitness to show the outburst of emotions or desire towards a gender. I agree this would happen in real life .Every conversation and the reason shows a level of reality and it takes a considerate emotions to take it positively. I would not say I took completely but the level of reach was great than I imagined when I am writing down the review. Selfish and unaided human desire is clearly let with level of reality, I liked the way .
Art in the naked form does not become a fake .And brown bunny is not a fake movie and Gallo is not a fake. It might look insane and explicit but some level of light is also to be shown to experience the different movie. On the outset after consolidating every thing this may look as a prono movie for one scene but the movie has some thing more to say.Thats truth in the blunt and explicit manner.
