66
If I had to pick my favorite film—excluding Tarantino and spaghetti westerns—it would undoubtedly be Buffalo ’66 by Vincent Gallo.
Billy Brown may be in his hometown, but it’s far from warm or welcoming. He’s disconnected from his family, from society, and even from himself—living in a state of emotional isolation. That sense of loneliness and disconnection, even in a familiar place, strangely mirrors my own experience of living alone in a foreign city. That feeling of never fully belonging anywhere—of constantly existing on the edge—feels all too familiar, and I think many can relate to that.
Billy desperately wants to connect with someone, but he doesn’t know how to express it. His clumsy words and awkward gestures in his relationship with Layla are painful, but sincere—and that hit me hard. Because I’ve carried that same feeling with me for a long time.
And then there’s the desire to love someone while still struggling to accept yourself. That contradiction, that slow, reluctant journey toward self-acceptance—it echoes the emotional path that many outsiders, like me, walk through when trying to figure out who they are in a place that feels so far from home.
That’s why Buffalo ’66 isn’t just a love story. It’s a quiet, aching reflection of all of us who have ever felt isolated, unsure, or simply trying—imperfectly—to reach out and be seen.
