had read and heard so much hype about this indie film when it was first released and roger eberts comments about it and i quote, 'the worst movie ever featured at the cannes film festival'. and i would have to agree with his summary. i'm not sure what Vincent gallo was trying to say when he wrote, directed and starred in this piece of egocentric film. like one reviewer said, i wanted to turn off my TV about five minutes into it and merely finished the films because of the notorious un-simulated fellatio scene with chloe sevigny who i give kudos for agreeing to star in this contrived piece of trash. i felt even more sympathy for her when she was immediately dropped by her talent agency and was blackballed by the industry for a period of time. fortunately she was able to bounce back by starring in the acclaimed series, big love. she had stated in previous interviews that she was comfortable doing the fellatio scene because she had known Vincent gallo in an intimate situation from before. i still don't understand the point of this film but maybe i should give it another viewing.
