I'm pretty sure the original title for this film was "How Can I Get a Fairly Well Known Hollywood Actress to Give Me a Blow Job on Camera?" But of course they had to change it. This movie was terrible, awful, waste of time, atrocious. Vincent Gallo's name is pretty much every other line in the credits which is why I'm sure the original title really was what I listed above. It's supposed to be about a lonely motorcycle racer that tries to replace his "love" with other women. Horrible script, story, camera work, etc. I have no idea why Chloe Sevigny signed for this role. Only thing remembered about this film is that she gives fellatio topless to finish to the director (which is probably why this film has over 8,000 reviewer ratings).

Almost silent and surprisingly tender, this is a sad and haunting portrait of a man with a broken heart and full of sorrow, and it evokes a constant feeling of melancholy and solitude, like with the songs that play along the film following the character's fragmented state of mind.

I'm not quite sure what to say since I fast forwarded the movie cause I got so bored with the road scene.

I realize that half the people who see my rating for this film are immediately going to assume that I am either pretentious or clueless. I also personally know specific people who, after watching this movie, would want to have my head for giving it such a high rating. For this reason, I feel obligated to explain my admiration for it. With this piece, Gallo disregards every conventional approach possible, which a lot of people interpret as iconoclastic self-indulgence. I see it as appropriate within the context of this movie, and I think it's a tragically beautiful work in its own right. Functioning as a distant character study in which we know very little about the person being examined, The Brown Bunny asks us to give back a lot. I was willing to give it my complete attention, and I found it to be a haunting and uniquely profound experience. This is one of the saddest films I've seen in a while, and the conclusion will leave a resounding impact on most people. If you're interested in seeing it simply on the basis of the famous blowjob scene, don't bother watching it. This isn't what you're looking for.
