Sexual activity, High level themes

Director: Vincent Gallo
Actors: Chloe Sevigny, Vincent Gallo, Cheryl Tiegs, Mary Morasky, Elizabeth Blake, Anna Vareschi

The Brown Bunny is both a love story and a haunting portrait of a lost soul unable to forget his past.

After finishing a motorcycle race in New Hampshire, Bud Clay (Vincent Gallo) loads his racing bike into the back of his van and begins a cross-country odyssey to Los Angeles, where he is to compete in another race. During his trip, he meets three very different women: Violet, a wholesome all-American gas station attendant; Lilly (Cheryl Tiegs), a fellow lost soul he connects with at a highway rest stop; and Rose, a Las Vegas prostitute.

Throughout his journey, Bud can never escape his intense feelings for the love of his life, Daisy (Chloë Sevigny), so he plans to reconcile with her when he reaches Los Angeles. Arriving in Los Angeles, Bud checks into a motel before visiting the abandoned home he once shared with Daisy. He leaves a note, hoping she will turn up at his motel room...

such a big fan of Chloe Sevigny, but this movie is not worth the watch, the real fellatio scene is the best part of the movie

"The Brown Bunny", a movie about an unhappy bloke who drives from one place to another place, is 90% tedium, 10% exploitation, and 100% garbage. Imagine bolting a video camera to the inside of your car and aimlessly driving around for 45 minutes: this is how Vincent Gallo, the talentless hack responsible for this turgid piece of excrement, gets half his principle ?photography? in the can. There?s no narration or dialogue, just badly shot, dull and pointless car cam. It feels like he made a bad short film and then decided to pad it out to an even worse feature length movie using this utterly inane footage. The interminable boredom this invokes is only broken up by a handful of completely implausible scenes where the inexplicably catatonic Gallo gets out of his van to play tonsil hockey with complete strangers. These strangers appear to be, for reasons that are never explained or explored, similarly catatonic and unbelievably responsive to Gallo?s pathetic advances. The final scene, that attempts to explain why we?ve been subjected to the previous, seemingly endless, montage of mind-numbing scenes, plays out like a bad 50?s who-dun-it. The exposition comes flooding out, and is handled with all the subtlety of a sledgehammer beating other sledgehammers with a sledgehammer. Gallo stars in, wrote, shot, directed, edited and produced "The Brown Bunny". He show?s so little care and/or competency in ever single discipline, it?s hard to not think he made this crap simply so he could to have it off with a few desperate actresses. And if Gallo is really a genius, who?s created a masterpiece that people like me simply don?t understand (as some fans of this film assert), how is it that the best response he could come up with to Ebert?s criticisms of the film was to call Ebert a ?fat pig??

Don't bother. Main character spends most of movie driving around and moaning. Chloe Sevigny is completley wasting her time here.

An hour and a half of your that you will never get back. Very slow, very boring, very uninteresting. It's rubbish. Don't bother.

Vincent Gallo wrote, produced, directed and was director of photography. That was because no one else would ever make a movie like this. I couldn't think of the worst movie that I had seen, but this one is now it by a long, long way !!!!!!

Long, ponderous, self-indulgent with the curious inclusion of a hardcore fellatio scene. It's amazing it ever got made.

Vincent Gallo as Bud Clay showed a lot of intestinal fortitude to star in this movie,he was the only bright shining light in an ordinary story line with an abrupt ending.
