I agree, Vincent Gallo's talent (music, directing, acting, writing, etc) is highly underrated.
And Sarah is correct. He is one funny dude

His entire body of work is amazing. With the current batch of nonsense that hollywood cranks out, Its doubtful he'll every get any real credit for his talent, He's basiclly the Anton Newcombe of film.

People sometimes forget how funny Vincent Gallo is. He is funny funny funny. Some idiots miss his humor especially his web site humor. Vincent Gallo could rule films like "The Hangover" Check him out in Palookaville and Arizona Dream. HE is funny. In Buffalo 66 is humor is top notch.

Vincent Gallo as usual is brilliant in this film. I saw it in Rome in 2007 as I was a film buyer then. The film stayed silent because it was so poorly edited and the post production work was a disgraceful (some terrible over dubbing of not even Gallo's real voice for example). I felt the film Kaspar Houser, in which Gallo also stars, was also terribly edited though unlike Oliviero Rising Kaspar Houser could have been a masterpiece had its filmmaker not been so pretentious. Gallo's performances in Kaspar Houser (he plays two characters) are as good as any I have seen from anyone ever. His performances as both characters are also completely original. The Italians get money from the government to make films. The filmmakers and producers there have no pressure whatsoever to do well in the marketplace or to make great films. Everyone becomes a parasite grabbing money and the director of Oliviero Rising Riki Roseo is said to be a buffoon and completely incompetent. Vincent Gallo has given some of the greatest performances. Unfortunately many of Gallo's great performances are in terrible films. I say the three best films Vincent Gallo was in where the three he directed, Buffalo 66, The Brown Bunny and Promises Written in Water.

This looks really funny, and marketable. I'm surprised it didn't get a platform release in 2008. Also, it doesn't seem to have anything of Antonioni in it except for the Italian setting. If it were set in America with a "non-ethnic" cast, you would never have invoked him. Probably, you would've invoked Woody Allen
