''You call me beautiful at home, then you are ashamed to be seen with me in public. You are ashamed of beauty you recognize that no one else does. You are ashamed to love me!''

In the 1930s, penniless Arturo Bandini (Farrell) lodges in LA and tries to become an author, worrying that he?s too inexperienced to have anything to write about. He has a complex relationship with Camilla (... read more

Since there was Salma Hayek and Colin Farrell together in this flick, I thought it should be interesting and I was really eager to watch it. Unfortunately, it ended up being up a huge disappointment. I mean, it looks good and the movie is well shot but I hought that they were both less than impressive. Above all, I thought the whole thing was just poorly written with a really annoying voice over. ... read more

A disappointing movie

“Since there was Salma Hayek and Colin Farrell together in this flick, I thought it should be interesting and I was really eager to watch it. Unfortunately, it ended up being up a huge disappointment. I mean, it looks good and the movie is well shot but I hought that they were both less than impressive. Above all, I thought the whole thing was just poorly written with a really annoying voice over. Basically, it is obvious they tried to create a film noir atmosphere which seemd to be a good idea but the end-result was a failure, in my opinion. It's too bad because the material was pretty good and the whole thing really had some potential but it just didn't work out. To conclude, it is not really a bad movie but it is still very average and not really worth a look, even if you are a fan of th” read more

Ashes to Ashes...Dust to Dust...This is a Must!

“''You call me beautiful at home, then you are ashamed to be seen with me in public. You are ashamed of beauty you recognize that no one else does. You are ashamed to love me!''

In the 1930s, penniless Arturo Bandini (Farrell) lodges in LA and tries to become an author, worrying that he?s too inexperienced to have anything to write about. He has a complex relationship with Camilla (Hayek), a Mexican waitress, which eventually inspires him to finish a novel.

Colin Farrell: Arturo Bandini

Salma Hayek: Camilla

Mesmerizing narration, acting and story, Ask The Dust shows the desperation of the times.

Colin Farrel and Salma Hayek have some good chemistry and some good narration and voice-overs. You become attached to Colin's character as he p” read more
