Review of Tetro (2009) by Coxxie M — 28 Sep 2011
When is this fucking picture supposed to take place? 1970's? 1940's? now? judging by Vincent's outfits, it should be 1979, except he dresses like that everyday on and off the sets of movies.
I think his mother brought him home from the hospital with women's bell-bottoms and red boots on. its pretty funny to watch him in 90% of his scenes with an unlit cigarette in his mouth and it just sits there like a funny hat.
he moves it around with his teeth, takes it in and out between words, and the few times you see him light it, no smoke comes out of his mouth. so I think he's trying some of those new toothpicks that are designed to look like cigarettes.
he doesn't smoke in real life. as a Vincenzo obsessor, I can say this is one of his best works in terms of just being an italian prick. this is also apparently the first film he had rehearsed for, which shows because you can see the prickiness in his eyes in every shot.
and when he lights his cigarettes and doesn't even take the energy to inhale, you can just tell he fucking hates people really hard. Vincent Gallo mumbles the word "asshole" in his sleep.
