Ask the Dust

Aroview: Classically seductive romance set in depression-era LA, based on John Fante’s novel, and directed by CHINATOWN scribe Robert Towne, who caters to an audience with a love for film noir.

As tempestuous love blossoms between an aspiring writer and first-generation Italian (Farrell) and a Mexican waitress (Hayak), this explores bittersweet self-discovery through the cultural diversity of the ‘City of Angels’ and the tension between career and relationships.
