    Have you ever wished you could give Vincent Gallo a blow job? Of course you haven’t.

    But if you have $50,000 and a desire to contract syphilis, an evening with Vincent can be all yours:

    I have total disdain for her outfits.

    And acting.

    And oral game.

      I never saw Brown Bunny but I liked her in The Last Days of Disco and Big Love. I’m mostly indifferent to her. These, however, I love. Even more than toe-Ast.

    The Brown Bunny did one wonderful thing. It provided Roger Ebert with the best review of his life:

    “I have not seen every film in the history of the festival, yet I feel my judgement will stand,” Ebert said of his damning assessment of Gallo’s film. Ebert contended that “The Brown Bunny” offended audiences “not because of sex, violence, or politics, but simply because of its awfulness.” He noted that the Cannes audience was restless, many walked out of the screening, and that the film was “so unendurably boring that when the hero changes into a clean shirt, there [was] applause.”

    The film chronicles the cross-country journey of motorcycle racer Bud Clay (Gallo) who is haunted by memories of his ex, Daisy (Sevigny). “Imagine long shots through a windshield as it collects bug splats,” Ebert wrote of the film’s tediousness in his initial Cannes review.

    Gallo fought back, insulting Ebert for being overweight and even, strangely, put a curse on his colon.

    Ebert adeptly responded, “It is true that I am fat, but one day I will be thin, and he will still be the director of ‘The Brown Bunny.’”

    At first my brain somehow read Larry Clark as Larry David and I got real scared that he suddenly became a douchey “auteur” (i.e. entitled, pretentious, male filmmaker) who exploited women. Thank god I was wrong.

      This is absolutely the best and most accurate description of auteur I’ve ever had the privilege to come across.

    I have an unnatural adoration for Chloe Sevigny. I can’t even say I’m crazy about many of her films (I found Big Love execrable). But I find Chloe’s personality and style very agreeable; she and I are from the same hometown, and when she is interviewed I am transported back to childhood and the artsy kids I grew up around. I find her very cerebral, elegant, eccentric and fearless. I was especially fascinated by her performance as a transgender contract killer in the UK television series, Hit & Miss.

      What did you dislike about Big Love so much? I’m curious because I also really hated it when I watched it as a kid because I thought it was glorifying misogyny but upon a rewatch now I really enjoyed it, especially in the end when everything starts to fall apart for Bob and even his best friend reveals he always saw him as a predator.

      You’ve articulated my feelings about Sevigny almost perfectly (barring your condemnation of Big Love, which I actually liked). Also, before she put on the glasses and mustache, she looked strangely like Jake Gyllenhaal.

    I feel like the root of her hate may stem from those dastardly directors trying to tell her how to do her “craft.” She is a “very serious” actor you know. Performances such as hers cannot be “directed” they simply emerge from her soul in the moment.

      I cannot stand her and I think she’s a pretentious asshole, but she is absolutely right about Terry Richardson, Lars Von Trier and Vincent Gallo. All three of them are fucking disgusting sleazy creeps and the only way they can make art (and I use the term very loosely) is by shocking people.

      Being sleazy and offensive is both their modus operandi and their raison d’être.

      I had no idea Terry Richardson directed films and Gallo is a media troll, not a filmmaker.

      But as a cinephile, I’d like to offer that you could not be more wrong about Lars von Trier. Melancholia was a film of astonishing beauty and profundity. Breaking the Waves is such a moving modern parable about God.. I’d like to meet the moviegoer who does not shed tears of catharsis during the final scene of that film, when all the bells start tolling in the blue sky out of nowhere. Dogville—the movie this dolt Chloe had a teeny, tinsy bit part in—is a fine work if not among his top 5.

      I could go on; I absolutely adore his work. He might be unpleasant as a person—neurotic, mean, etc.; I don’t know where you got “sleazy creep,” he’s a clinically depressed person with many phobias, so I imagine not very much fun to be around—but his films resonate with the terrible power of real art. Have you seen any of them? Oh, they are so wonderful.

      Hey - at least you didn’t blow Vincent Gallo! I don’t think one could ever recover from such a horrifying act. I bet that every plant in a 30 foot radius of him instantly withers away...

    Sevigny had a small part in Dogville more than a decade ago and since then has many times defended von Trier’s work ethic and body of work, which is certainly justifiable. LvT has tons of problems and has said/done some problematic things, but predation is not one of them. It’s surprising to see Sevigny turn on him in this way.

    Whatever vérité Larry Clark may practice in life, Kids (1995) was Sevigny’s breakout film, and until the past few years she effectively played the same “club kid” character in terms of her persona, which was parlayed into fashion show appearances, endorsements, access to couture, and so on.

    Whatever one thinks of their work, Clark and von Trier at least make interesting films and have not been investigated for abusing children.

    It’s notable that Sevigny spares Woody Allen, with whom she worked in Melinda and Melinda from her “disdain.”

      Didn’t Bjork have such a horrible experience with von Trier while making Dancer in the Dark that she swore off film and turned down an offer from Peter Jackson to record a song for the Lord of the Rings soundtrack?

      Yes, that is what Bjork reported. I think he has found a compatible muse in Charlotte Gainsbourg, for whatever reasons, and their collaborations seem to go smoothly behind the scenes. I can certainly see Bjork and von Trier not getting along and Dancer in the Dark being a particularly psychologically and physically demanding performance.

    I think they behave this way because society allows and encourages it, and especially Hollywood, they are obsessed with dickish, tortured “genius” white males and the narrative that they can only express their genius by being total assholes.

      Meanwhile if women aren’t agreeable once they’re labelled “difficult to work with.”
