Notes
- The French director Claire Denis hired Vincent Gallo to act in several films, such as Keep It for Yourself, the made-for-TV U.S. Go Home, and its follow-up feature Nénette et Boni (1996).
- Claire Denis preferred black faces in her movies at first.[citation needed] "Vincent Gallo is an old face for me - the first time I shot him was 10 years ago in a short I made in New York called Keep it for Yourself".[1]
