Description
Directed By The Academy Award® Winning Writer Of Chinatown
Colin Farrell (The New World, Alexander) and Salma Hayek (Frida, Once Upon a Time in Mexico) sizzle in this adaptation of John Fante’s classic novel of desire in the desert.
Farrell plays Arturo Bandini, a would-be writer seeking fame, fortune and a blue-eyed blonde in 1930’s Los Angeles. Instead, he finds Mexican barmaid Camilla (Hayek), who hopes to blend into Anglo society by marrying a wealthy blue-blood. With remarkable performances, stunning photography, and direction by Academy Award®-winner Robert Towne, Ask the Dust is a powerful story of two castoffs in a struggle between their ambitions and the passion that arises between them.
