The Brown Bunny (2003)

Independence Day is the day for Independent Films! Vincent Gallo is the saddest and loneliest of guys in his second feature THE BROWN BUNNY.

Now... There is a fair amount of controversy surrounding this film ever since it was first screened at Cannes back in 2003, and I'm not talking about his dated belt. Roger Ebert slated the film. Gallo called him "fat". Ebert did not relent. Gallo cut the film down from 114 mins to 98 mins. Ebert rejoiced, awarded it a 3/4, and seemingly forgot everything Gallo called him. But that isn't really that controversial. I'm talking about what transpired at the end of the movie with Chloë Sevigny, which got everyone so upset.

Yeah, if you didn't already know, you're gonna find out and you'll probably hate it. This is a film that had us on the fence for a significant amount of its runtime, and there are some pleasant surprises. Or as "pleasant" as the film allows you to feel.
