Weird and darkly comic, Buffalo '66 is the story of the redemption of one almost- unbearable character afflicted with a phobia about everything. Played by Vincent Gallo (Palookaville), who often essays lowlife individuals, Billy Brown is at the bottom of the human totem pole. He's violent, boorish, obsessive, angry, self- deluded, and unable to deal with intimacy. He has what are euphemistically called "issues," and, unlike many similar characters, he's not the least bit endearing. Gallo, who, in addition to starring in the movie, wrote it, directed it, and composed the music for it, has hinted that certain aspects of Buffalo '66 are autobiographical (particularly the dinner table interaction between Billy and his parents). If there's even a tenth of Billy in Gallo, "intense" would be an understatement in describing the man.
