Vincent Gallo, a downtown New York artist active since the early eighties as a musician, photographer, painter, model, actor, and filmmaker, has a [face] like a rusty hatchet (needle nose, scraggly [beard]), damp inky hair, and an unnerving stare. 

In "Buffalo '66" (1998), the first feature-length movie Gallo directed, he plays a recently released con looking for a place to pee. After finding it, he picks up a willing teen-ager (Christina Ricci), but, instead of having sex with her, takes her to visit his nasty parents—a new low in the history of perversity. The movie’s prickly, vagrant humor was odd and unsatisfying.
