Buffalo 66

Buffalo 66" (1998) directed, written & starring Vincent Gallo (whose music also features in the soundtrack), and stars with Christina Ricci, is an interesting film which delves deeply into what it means to be accepted and loved. The film is about a guy who has just been released from prison and wants to visit his parents-who thinks he has been succeeding in life with a career and is married. Impulsively he decides to kidnap an girl who he needs to play the role of his partner. The film turns into a love story which is quite dark but also moving.
