Description
This week, we take a look at the 2006 drama Ask the Dust, a film we at varying points compare to Moulin Rouge, Calvin & Hobbes, and Sophie's Choice. The final directorial effort of acclaimed screenwriter Robert Towne, the film stars Colin as Arturo Bandini, a struggling writer in 1930s Los Angeles who has a tempestuous relationship with a Mexican waitress (Salma Hayek). We debate the successes and failures of Colin's casting (and performance), wonder about the timelessness of his face, and begin to put an end to his bad boy era. Along the way we also wonder why Donald Sutherland doesn't have an Oscar nomination and just what Idina Menzel is doing in this dang movie. Connor sticks up for his Italian cousins. Cole is still in love with one particular shot from Jack Reacher. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
