The Brown Bunny - Enzian Theater

Due to graphic content, no one under 18 will be permitted to this film.

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, Buffalo 66) 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 (Supermodel 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, Kids, Boys Don’t Cry), 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 . . .Building to a notorious climax, the film presents one of the frankest portrayals of male sexuality ever seen in American cinema.

2003, 93 minutes, USA, Directed by Vincent Gallo, Unrated

“An idiosyncratic document of sexual obsession and guilt, it alienates as easily as it mesmerizes.”
– Neva Chonin, SAN FRANCISCO CHRONICLE
“A memorable—if still highly specialized—exercise in personal, '70s-style American filmmaking, with a cohesive feel and rhythm that marks Gallo as a distinctive indie talent.”
– Derek Elley, VARIETY
“The film stubbornly refuses to fill empty space with dialogue or adhere to any structure other than its own downbeat atmosphere, forcing viewers to be intensely patient or squirm. It's the best film I’ve seen in a while that I wouldn't recommend to anyone.”
– Aaron Hillis, PREMIERE MAGAZINE
“The film jumps up and down on a high wire over the chasm separating Pretension and Art.”
– M.E. Russell, PORTLAND OREGONIAN
