| | Vincent Gallo |
 | | Further displaying his range and versatility, Gallo played a Protestant minister in Rebecca Miller's "Angela" (1995), one of a trio of inept would-be criminals in the fine comedy "Palookaville" (1995) and the volatile younger brother in a crime family whose death is the centerpiece for Abel Ferrara's "The Funeral" (1996). |
 | | The film, co-written with Alison Bagnall, was praised for its intimate and idiosyncratic--and oft-amusing--portrait of a recently released convict and hibitual loser (Gallo), who absconds with a teen Lolita from a tap dance school (Ricci) and presents her as his new wife to his bizarre, hyper-judgmental parents (Anjelica Huston and Ben Gazarra) in Buffalo. |
 | | Despite all of the melodrama and Gallo's canny use of the media, the film was still largely derided as immature, trite, monotonous, amateurishly constructed, and utilizing the whiff of scandal to cast Gallo as a misunderstood, iconoclastic oultaw filmmaker when in fact he had merely made a marginal film. |
