ASK THE DUST
Cast: Colin Farrell, Donald Sutherland, Salma Hayek, Eileen Atkins, William Mapother
Synopsis: Academy Award®-winner Robert Towne (“Chinatown,” “Tequila Sunrise”) writes and directs “Ask the Dust,” set under the brutally sunny skies of Depression-era Los Angeles. Based on novelist John Fante’s masterpiece, Towne’s interpretation of Ask the Dust focuses on a city exotic and vulgar, glamorous and raunchy – a place of heat and dust. Full of imports – palm trees from Egypt and people from everywhere in search of health and wealth, fame and fortune – L. A. is the city of first and last resort, where all dreams are supposed to come true. So it is for Arturo Bandini (Colin Farrell), a son of Italian immigrants who dreams of becoming a famous novelist and marrying a beautiful blonde, and Camilla Lopez (Salma Hayek), a Mexican who longs to marry a WASP and shed her last name. In a time when Anglo-Chicano relations hang by tattered threads, Bandini and Camilla collide with one another, fighting the city and themselves to make their dreams come true.
