This film is both a love story and a haunting portrait of a lost soul unable to forget his past. Vincent Gallo, Chloe Sevigny, and Cheryl Tiegs star in this highly controversial film from director Vincent Gallo. Vincent Gallo shocked the 2003 Cannes Film Festival with this highly personal film that he wrote, directed, produced, edited, photographed, and stars in. Gallo plays Bud Clay, a motorcycle racer on his way from New Hampshire to California in a van. The cross-country trip includes stops at a gas station, where Clay meets and falls for a gas station attendant named Violet (Anna Vareschi); a roadside food stand, where he meets the sadly beautiful Lilly (Cheryl Tiegs, making her feature-film debut); and the Las Vegas strip, where he picks up local prostitute Rose (Elizabeth Blake). As he comes into contact with these women, he can't let go of his past, which centers around Daisy (Chloe Sevigny), whom he hopes to find when he returns home to Los Angeles.
Nominated for the Palme d'Or at Cannes, THE BROWN BUNNY is a poignant, emotional drama that features long scenes with little or no dialogue, as Gallo uses natural sound and lighting, jazz and folk music, and long, lingering shots of the open road, raindrops on a windshield, and the scraggly-haired protagonist to create a nearly suffocating atmosphere of loss and loneliness. Winner of the FIPRESCI prize at the 2003 Viennale "for its bold exploration of yearning and grief and for its radical departure from dominant tendencies in current American filmmaking," THE BROWN BUNNY is sure to cause a stir because of its infamous and shocking X-rated sex scene near the end of the picture, although it is a tender, soft, and powerfully subtle film. Theatrical Release: August 27, 2004 Brown Bunny Reviews: "[I]t has the gritty visual syntax and off-road sensibility of a lost movie from the '70s."
-- Michael Atkinson, Movieline's Hollywood Life "Gallo has caught the freedom and melancholy, the intoxicating aimlessness, the lonely twilight beauty of a solo road trip in a way that no previous filmmaker has."
-- Owen Gleiberman, Entertainment Weekly "[V]ery watchable, often beautiful-looking..."-- Manohla Dargis, New York Times
This is the only Cheryl Tiegs video. Stars also making their debut in this video: Mary Morasky, Anna Vareschi.

Brown Bunny Movie Review Average Rating: (2.8 out of 5 stars)   shoud've taken acid...
extremely difficult to get through; way too many visual scenes that drug on entirely too long... I don't want to hear that "artistic poetry" crap; w/o the oral sex scene, I would give this movie 0 stars... this script was 3 pages long right. What a departure from Gallos' Buffalo 66 days...

brutal
I heard it was bad but wow. If you like horrible movies with a great sex scene then buy this. I am an idiot because I had already seen the sex scene but needed to know if the movie was truly that bad. Some fake artsy people will tell you that you just didnt understand how deep this movie was, and what a great portrayal of depression and sadness. They are full of crap and you should bet them a million dollars that they could not watch it without FF or closed caption, because the 6 times they talk you can't hear them.
I own quite a few bad movies and will probably watch this many times because it is easily the worst ever, and just like a good movie in a horrible one you see something crappy that you missed the first time.

This film simply doesn't deserve the bad reputation it has ,especially after its slating at Cannes. If you approach it in the right mood it slowly meanders and winds in a dreamy reverie that draws you in, encompassing elements of beauty and extreme poignancy. The sparce use of music is extremely effective as a soundtrack to Gallo's increasingly painful journey. with patience, it's a rewarding film.

 Excellent, gutsy movie
In this age of bland multiplex movies in which even the indies are bland, it's refreshing to see such an un-commercial movie. And it is a good one. It is sad, melancholy and yes, kind of slow...but it works beautifully. A man goes on the road searching for a lost love...and has all kinds of encounters. Interesting to watch Cheryl Tiegs in a small, poignant role. As for the oral sex scene, it is explicit but it differs from similar scenes in porn, In this scene, the act has a desperation and a poignancy that is both sad and erotic.

A man wakes in mid-afternoon in a grungy London apartment. A woman knocks at the door. He lets her in, to an awkward silence. She touches his face tenderly--almost immediately they have stripped and are making love on a mattress on the floor. It is the first of many intense, real-time, sexually explicit encounters between Jay (Mark Rylance) and Claire (Kerry Fox). And director Patrice Chéreau reinforces the intensity by keeping his wide-screen camera very close to the actors.
Jay and Claire agree to separate their meetings from the rest of their ...

Set in the Spring of 1968; Produced and Released in 2003/2004.
Bernardo Bertolucci's THE DREAMERS centers on three university students who adore the Cinematheque Francaise, and are fascinated by '60s culture--the music of Janis Joplin and Jimi Hendrix, the films of Jean-Luc Godard, and the writings of Susan Sontag and Chairman Mao. Their philosophical conversations about sexuality, love, politics, activism, and the Vietnam War; and their daily activities--going to the cinema, protesting in support of Henri Langlois, lounging around naked, and smoking dope--are a realistic reflection of the mood and energy ...

From his current post in Antarctica, British glaciologist Matt (Kieran O'Brien), recalls how he met Lisa (Margo Stilley), a 21-year-old American student. They were at a rock concert at London's Brixton Academy, and he took her back to his apartment for sex. This began a brief relationship, which is revealed as Matt remembers and comments on its milestones--mainly the other concerts they attended and their significant sexual experiences--before their initial sexual attraction waned and they were forced to part.
The titular nine songs are comprised of concert performances by 1) Primal Scream, 2) Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, 3) Elbow, 4) Michael Nyman, 5) Super Furry Animals, 6) The Dandy Warhols, 7) Von Bondies, 8) Black Rebel Motorcycle Club again, and 9) Franz Ferdinand. Shot on often-blurry, ...

Writer/director John Cameron Mitchell follows up the cult classic HEDWIG AND THE ANGRY INCH with another salacious slice of sex-laden cinema. Mitchell interweaves three separate tales of highly sexed and sexually frustrated New Yorkers, all of whom find some kind of salvation at an underground club named Shortbus. Anything goes at Shortbus--wild orgies between people from different ages, backgrounds, and sexual preferences are treated as commonplace, and most of the sex scenes shot through Mitchell's voyeuristic lens are completely unsimulated. Mitchell allows little time for his audience to pause for breath, opening SHORTBUS with a frantic collage of copulation and carnality that features most of his ...
