Her nose was so big when she blew it she got accused of having oral sex

NEW YORK — Actress Chloe Sevigny says a notoriously graphic sex scene in “The Brown Bunny,” which opens Friday in New York and Los Angeles, will make “more sense” after audiences see it for themselves. “I knew people would not understand it,” Sevigny told The Associated Press. “It’s a shame people write so many things when they haven’t seen it. When you see the film, it makes more sense. It’s an art film. It should be playing in museums. It’s like an Andy Warhol movie.”

The explicit oral-sex scene, which has garnered all sorts of attention since the movie’s premiere, occurs between Sevigny and Vincent Gallo, who also wrote, directed and edited the film. Gallo shot the scene using remote cameras while he and Sevigny were alone in the room.

“This particular scene is the most complex, it’s the most evolved thing that I’ve ever done in my life,” Gallo said at a news conference during the 2003 Cannes Film Festival.

Sevigny, 29, has an eclectic acting resume that includes “Kids,” “Boys Don’t Cry” and “American Psycho.” She can next be seen in the HBO drama series “Big Love” and Woody Allen’s “Melinda and Melinda,” scheduled for release next year.

“I’ve always made films that are sort of avant-garde-y or whatever you call it,” she told the AP last week at the opening of the Hard Rock Cafe inside Foxwoods Resort and Casino in Mashantucket, Conn.
