It's the story of one man's tragic loss of the love of his life. Gallo plays Bud Clay who races motorcycles. He rides in the 250cc Formula II class of road racing. Round and round he goes, repeating laps over and over until the race is over. The story begins with Bud racing in New Hampshire. Bud's next race is in California in five Days. And so his journey begins across America. And everyday Bud is haunted by the same memories of the last time he saw his true love. Bud will do anything to make those memories disappear. And every day he tries to find a new love. Making outrageous requests of women to come with him on his trip and then leaving them behind after they've agreed. He can't replace Daisy, the only girl he's ever loved and the only girl he will ever love. But every day he tries.        The Brown Bunny" is the only one of three American films in Main Competition. Directed by Vincent Gallo ("Buffalo 66"), the film stars Chloë along with the director in a story of lost love.. Financed by Japanese company Kinetique, the film had a budget of $10 million. Sevigny agreed to the project without seeing a script. Did she ever regret that? "No, I was always committed to the project on the strength of Vincent alone. I have faith in his aesthetic, so I knew it wouldn't be gratuitous or anything."

Reviews While by no means the best Gallo film, "The Brown Bunny" stands out as non-traditional, well-written art-house film. As opposed to, you know, just another movie. And it wasn't bad. The fellatio scene, I suspect, wasn't meant to titillate - it would not have come at the end if it were. "The Brown Bunny", hoopla surrounding notwithstanding, actually presents itself as one of the more memorable films of the past five years. And Vincent Gallo actually wrote some of his work - which is more than I can say for this nonsensical Hollywood parade of sequels, prequels, remakes, and other mainstream mouth-open-snore boring fare. Sevigny took a risk - a risk people are still talk about years later. Good for her. Rhonda B.
