Vincent Gallo

The Profile

Vincent Gallo is an American actor, director, and musician. He is known for writing, directing, and starring in Buffalo '66 and The Brown Bunny, and for releasing the albums When and Recordings of Music for Film.

American multi-hyphenate active since 1978; wrote, directed, and starred in Buffalo '66 (1998) and The Brown Bunny (2003). The Brown Bunny’s 2003 Cannes reception led to a public clash and later reconciliation with Roger Ebert. Music releases include When and Recordings of Music for Film.

DeBaser’s reviewers probe Vincent Gallo’s split life between austere road movies and intimate, ambient-leaning records. The Brown Bunny’s silences, Cannes uproar, and Ebert reconciliation surface alongside When’s whispery lullabies and Recordings of Music for Film’s fragmentary sketches. Overall tone: refined, melancholic, for attentive ears.
