Ask the Dust (2006)

Ask the Dust (2006) has big written all over it! It’s co-produced by Hollywood heavyweight Tom Cruise. It’s directed by Robert Towne, who won an Oscar for writing Chinatown (1974). It’s based on a novel by John Fante, the Los Angeles literary bum from whom Charles Bukowski got most of his shtick. Last, and biggest of all, it stars busty Salma Hayek whose revealing performance makes Salma Hayek Nude a fitting look back at one of her boldest roles! Set during the Great Depression, Salma plays Camilla, a Mexican immigrant waiting tables and looking for a sugar daddy. But she gets sidetracked by an aspiring writer portrayed by Colin Farrell as a thinly veiled version of the story’s author. Hey, who can blame Mr. Fante for fantasizing about going south of Salma’s border? Throughout the course of the romantic drama, audiences can see Tamara Marie Watson, Donald Sutherland, and Idina Menzel’s protruding pokies! When she slips off her slip, we are treated to a view of her booty. Sure, one bun has burn marks but that just means she’s really hot! Of course, Ms. Hayek takes centerstage when she goes skinny-dipping. Mr. Farrell looks appropriately gobsmacked while ogling his leading lady’s flawless breasts, bush and butt bobbling above the waves in the ocean. Later, they move into the bedroom for some flesh-on-flesh action. The skintastic scene gives us another look at her ravishing rack. When the Los Angeles Times called Ask the Dusk, “a film of great beauty,” they must have been referring to Salma’s nudity!
