Whether or not Gallo's portrait of male isolation and passivity is hopeful in the end is not what is important; what remains is aesthetically potent, thematically simple, and emotionally charged use of cinema to envision an attractive man's crushing inability to share intimacy with women.

Besprechung im Milk Plus Weblog zu Vincent Gallos Brown Bunny



The entire look (and sound design) of the film is astounding. Gallo has truly captured a 70's feel -- think Monte Hellman or John Cassavetes -- that will appeal to fans of that era. The camerawork during the opening scene (a motorcycle race, filmed from high up in the stands) along with the continual cutting in and out of the sound of the race -- is magnificent. (Gallo utilized a new Super 16 to 35-millimeter transfer process that is gorgeous.) He uses interesting framing throughout -- either having characters off to one side of the frame, or cutting off half their faces, and it's very effective.

Filmbrain



Langsam wird's wirklich Zeit... Seit dem Trailer, über den ich vergangenen November gestolpert bin, hat sich die Situation ja nicht wirklich signifikant gebessert. Immerhin hat der Film mittlerweile eine Kinoauswertung in den USA erfahren. Dass der Film seinen Weg auch in die hiesigen Kinos findet, steht zu hoffen.
