Buffalo '66 (1998)

Synopsis: Fresh out of jail, Billy kidnaps a girl and makes her pose as his wife in front of his parents. He also plans revenge on a certain person. 

Appraisal: The world depicted in "Buffalo '66" is an oniric landscape full of strange characters and situations. There is a magnetic quality to the film, it feels so fresh and original, so straight from the heart. At the same time, the details like camerawork, music, acting, cinematography are all impeccable. This film is also unique in that it defies the conventions and boundaries of genre. You will find in it many comedic elements, particularly when Billy's parents are shown, but there's a poignancy to the film that is not relieved by that comicity; on the contrary, it is enhanced. I placed it as number 18 among my favorites of 1998.
