Review of Buffalo '66 (1998) by Harry W — 19 Mar 2016

I am kind of in the same boat as all of these critics saying that it's clear that there's "something there", but no one knows what it is. Which is kind of hilarious. I get the impression there is some strange distortion in the plot because of the troubled state of mind of the main character, explaining perhaps why Ricci's character is so objectified and substance-less.

Given how godawful Gallo's other work is though I really don't think there is anything profound that he was going for, other than the obvious Freudian concepts / repressed sexuality. I think the hype this gets is because of what people project onto it.

Easily the most narcissistic film I have ever seen as well, which is forgivable if the director/actor/writer/whatever-else isn't a piece of shit, but alas..
