Buffalo '66

Published by B.R. Circus (Brain Workers), 1999.

Japanese visual book for Gallo's 1998 film Buffalo '66, in which he wrote, directed, starred, composed the music and designed the artwork. The film follows Billy Brown, a recently released ex-convict returning to his hometown of Buffalo, New York, and has since acquired a devoted, almost cultish following. Every frame carries a strange, melancholic charge that became one of the defining visual templates of late-1990s American independent cinema. Film stills, character profiles and production material. In hindsight, the obsessive control Gallo exercised over every element of the film reads as an early signal of the egomania that would come to define his public persona.
