00:00This film shocked the Cannes Film Festival because of a scene that was completely real.
00:04Every day, I make a video about the Cannes Film Festival until Dailymotion invites me to
00:07Cannes Film Festival.
00:08And hurry up, because...
00:11I don't know, but hurry up.
00:13In 2003, The Brown Bunny was screened in official competition at Cannes.
00:17On paper, nothing extraordinary.
00:19An independent film, directed by and starring Vincent Gallo.
00:21But during the screening, everything changes.
00:24A long, silent, and slightly risqué scene unfolds.
00:30And most importantly, it's not simulated.
00:32Chloé Sévigny performs fellatio on Vincent Gallo on screen.
00:36And then, the room erupts.
00:37Well, that surprises me.
00:38Embarrassment, silence, then a violent reaction.
00:41The film was booed and savaged by critics, but the worst was yet to come.
00:46The renowned critic Roger Hébert publishes a scathing review.
00:50And Vincent Gallo responds publicly by insulting him.
00:52And this clash is becoming global.
00:54But the film became a cult classic, but not for the right reasons at all.
00:57And yet, a few months later, Gallo released a re-edited, shorter, better-received version, without the scene, that's all.
01:03But this film has opened a debate about consent, about the power of the director
01:07and on the need for intimacy coordinators, who come much later in cinema.
01:12Let me know in the comments if you knew that.
01:14And most importantly, subscribe!
