'Buffalo 66' Director Defends Graphic Sex Scene

CANNES, France (Reuters) - American actor-director Vincent Gallo (news) on Wednesday defended his graphic depiction of oral sex in road movie "The Brown Bunny" that has provoked a scandal at the Cannes Film Festival (news - web sites).

He also revealed he had rejected Hollywood stars Winona Ryder (news) and Kirsten Dunst (news) for supporting roles.

Gallo, sitting with co-star Chloe Sevigny at a packed news conference, said of their sex scene together that leaves nothing to the imagination: "We were very private in the room. We had the camera on remote."

Gallo, who plays the part of a motorbike rider who can never get over the love of his life, said the scene was artistically acceptable.

"When I had the idea in the script, I couldn't imagine it any other way," he said. "I was not driven by concepts of eroticism, pornography or scandal."

He told journalists: "Thank you for wondering if it was real or not. You must have been impressed."

Sevigny admitted "It was the most personal film I have ever made -- very intense."

Renowned for his blunt approach to Hollywood, the maverick director revealed that he canned the chance to cast Dunst or Ryder and opted for a total unknown in a supporting role.

"It didn't work out with Kirsten because she had an...agent who harassed me," said Gallo, who achieved cult status with his directorial debut "Buffalo '66" with Christina Ricci (news).

Gallo said "I just happened to get a Winona call just after the Kirsten debacle. I thought she is in the paper (over shoplifting charges), I know she's done it. This will be good."

Ryder was fined and ordered to serve three years' probation last December for shoplifting thousands of dollars worth of designer goods from Saks Fifth Avenue branch in Beverly Hills.

Gallo said neither actress was up for Sevigny's part. "I was never going to put Winona Ryder in a significant role," he said.

He invited Ryder to fly up to New Hampshire where he was filming. It was a disaster. "She ballbusted me about the make-up and about the wardrobe," he said.

So Gallo instead picked a total unknown in the main street of the tiny town where they were filming.

He told his crew: "We are going into town and the first girl over 12 and under 100 is going to be the girl in the movie."

Critics were sharply divided over the film, openly laughing at some of the endlessly drawn out scenes. Gallo was even booed by some when he arrived at the press conference.

Clearly happy to have stirred controversy, he told reporters: "I have accepted unpopularity since I was very young. It is part of my comfort zone."

Chloe Sevigny went to my high school. Sadly, I can't speak of her "skills" (unnecessary quotation marks, check).

I'd actually let the quotation marks slide in that case, with "skills" being a euphemism. :)

Re: Speaking of "burning a few"....
 

Is it just me, or did anyone else conclude that this guy took his Hollywood name from My Cousin Vinny?

He could have gotten head from Kirsten Dunst??? Damn what the hell is wrong with him???

No kidding, I would have taken Dusnt any day. However, maybe she would be willing to do it, and some unknown would?

huh...no sense

I had Kirsten Dunst, and let me tell you, she's nowhere near as good as Nell Carter....

I didn't hear about this until yesterday. Now way is Kirsten Dunst more attractive than Chloë Sevigny, FWIW.


Also, the video is pretty easy to find (one of the message boards threads at imdb.com has a link to it) ... and definitely real.

:eek:

I must have been drunk when I said that...

I've seen the clip. She's dec. It's weird because they try to be cinematic and artsy instead of like the tecmo music and screams and all that good stuff.

There's porn that involves tecmo bowl?

Cmon, you know tecmo had an awesome soundtrack.

If they want energy, use the regular music. For a touching moment, cue the 'injured player' tune.

The article says that Dunst and Ryder were never up for Sevigny's role, but it doesn't say that Shorty was.

Wait, what?

Show me this clip...

1. go to imdb.com

I have a witness.... what say you all?

So, Sevigny is willing to do lesbianism (in "Boys Don't Cry") and now blowjobs on film. The pornification of her is going well indeed.

She's really taken edgy roles from the get-go. Her (HIV positive) character is raped at the end of KIDS (her first movie).

I only found out about this whole (blowjob) thing when I was talking to a friend of mine about good actors/actresses who just aren't in enough stuff.

So my question is "Was that acting, or does she actually finalize the contract?". I mean she certainly looks like she completed the deal, but I imagine she'd know how to sell that look, and I have to give her some credit as an actress and all.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but she wasn't completely unknown at the time (having already been in KIDS, at least).... ??

I believe they were speaking of another role (they earlier said Ryder and Dunst were not up for Sevigny's role).
