Riepilogo
Buffalo '66 is Vincent Gallo's directorial debut, released in 1998. The film blends comedy and drama as it follows ex-convict Billy upon his release from prison. Instead of returning home or trying to reintegrate into society, Billy embarks on a peculiar journey involving the kidnapping of Layla and a strained visit with his parents. Gallo's unique perspective explores themes of loneliness, outsider culture, and the struggle of re-entry for ex-offenders.
