adrianarae This is one of the saddest relationship films I have seen! It's like a bizarre wet dream with a couple who are destined to destroy themselves. It was made with a low budget, and anyone who doesn't appreciate that is a loser. Chloe Sevegny is so lucky in this role to work with Vincent Gallo, as he is my idol and i worship him! The ending - OMG i love it!

Ron Solina Boasting an exceptional soundtrack, minimal and well-suited for a film about someone embarking on a solitary road trip, the meditative pace is very much apt for such a contemplative film. Plus points.The thing I find implausible in what Mr. Gallo did in this brooding and painfully slow film was shooting that scene in the desert salt flats where he just took his jacket off, leaving him with only a white tank top on as he rides his motorbike and zooms off disappearing towards the horizon, and in all that time, not managing to include a scene where he has his character, Bud Clay, apply some sunscreen given that it's such a harsh, blistering environment. The unhealthy and risky things he did in this film, among other things. Minus points.But one can't deny that he has indeed an artistic vision in conveying his narrative, calculated shot composition, gritty images, awkward camera angles that looked amateurish, and yes, the symbolism. In analyzing that motorbike-riding-towards-the-horizon scene, what he essentially did there kind of mirrors what he accomplished in making this film, acting with a complete disregard for what harm would befall unto him, in this case (sun)burning himself, for the sake of what he considers art.With regards to the sex scene, even though it involves two very good-looking actors, it never felt that erotic (it's definitely a non-porn). It was more along the lines of a scene realistically done and was not in any way meant to be salacious. One cannot possibly take pleasure in watching that scene the same way there is no enjoyment in seeing a wheelchair-bound person have their chair yanked away from them. There are some steamy sex scenes in other art films that were indeed meant to stimulate, but this film just doesn't bring someone in that kind of prurient mindset. (And I could name those that do in a heartbeat.) Take it from a guy whose chances of being put in the same situation as that notorious consensual scene is as remote as a rat's chances of stealing cheese in a cheese factory the same time it's hosting a mouse-hunting-for-cats convention. Virtually impossible, not bloody likely. But, as with everything else in life, nothing can always be deemed improbable.--B-flat--

Claudio Carvalho After racing in New Hampshire, the lonely motorcycle racer Bud Clay (Vincent Gallo) drives his van in a five-day journey to California for the next race. Along his trip, he meets fan, lonely women, prostitutes, but he leaves them since he is actually looking for the woman he loves, Daisy (Chloë Sevigny). He goes to her house and leaves a note telling where he is lodged. Out of the blue, Daisy appears in his hotel room and soon he learns why he cannot find her."The Brown Bunny" is an independent very low budget movie by Vincent Gallo. The plot is developed in slow pace and is dull and boring in many moments. The revelation of Daisy's secret is totally unexpected. However the movie has become famous only because of the unnecessary fellatio of Chloë Sevigny, maybe to satisfy Vincent Gallo's ego, since does not add anything but a polemic scene to this movie in a poor hype. My vote is five.Title (Brazil): Not available on DVD or Blu-Ray

thesar-2 The Satellite of Love crew would've had a field day. Manos: The Hands of Fate's opening scene stretched amongst about 60 min of film. Wait, there's more! Within the first 2/3s of the film we have the hero do amazing things! He buys gasoline & Chinese food! He drinks coffee! He buys a Coke! He takes a shower! He kisses a complete stranger in a park! But wait! There's more! Most importantly, he drives! And drives and drives. And then…drives some more. Watching someone drive such a distance is like watching someone read for an hour. I have read reviews where people complain nothing happens. I laugh at the movies they pick for these comments? They need to go back to edit their reviews on those movies. This could've been rated G until the finale, a completely unnecessary sexual scene (or two). We get the point; we get to the surprise twist. I watched to the end, every minute of his journey from the East to the West; his loneliness. Yes, I liked the ending, the reason for all the madness but for shock value alone was the graphic closing scenes. I gave it 1.5/5, an additional .5 for the meaning at the end. I'll be kind & save you some time? He is lonely and depressed, he drives and if you can skip to the final 2-3 scenes, you'll understand why & save yourself 1.25 hours of watching one drive to get to the point. I have two side notes: #1 I am a true believer in extras on a DVD, the delete scenes, the making-of, etc, and thank GOD, this had no delete scenes? Boy, anyone could do without extra **exciting** hours of driving from Albuquerque 2 Vegas. And #2, though I love Las Vegas scenes in movies – I'm a gambler, sue me- he would've taken a long detour to go from where he was headed to Sin City. Don't screenplay writers ever research their material, their physical journeys before putting pen to paper? This is a story of one man, his journey and a director's vision of hard porn for about 3 min. Buckle up, it's gonna take you 90 min to get what you rented the film for.
