I was thinking of LuisJ's nomination of Salma Hayek for most beautful woman in the world and after watching this recent film with her and also starring Colin Farrell, I thought these screencaps from the film might be nice. Oh by the way the film is entitled Ask the Dust. Didn't do so well in the theaters despite Eberts endorsements. This is based upon a novel by John Fante according to the dvd notes. It is a romantic tale of a would-be writer who travels to L.A. inorder to write, lust after blonde babes and become famous. He meets up with Salma Hayek, who is a lowly barmaid and also an illegal immigrant. The obligatory sparks fly and passion ensues towards a standard tragic ending. However standard issue this film may be in the story department and an obvious suspect for the chick flick list, I am going to pardon the film based on Salma's typically blustery performance as the mexican illegal looking for her future in the U.S.A. and the ambience created by director Robert Towne. This is a quiet film. One that almost plays out more like a stage drama than a sweeping Hollywood romance. Their is plenty of time for character development and attachment. Also features a moody, latin tinged score by Ramon Djawadi and Hector Perera. We all know how important a film score is to the overall appreciation of a movie. So when you are in the mood for a nice, little, romantic film try this one out. If for nothing more than to see two great scenes featuring the ever beautiful Salma Hayek in the buff.
