If you loved Breathless, try Ask the Dust

A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.

What they share

Theysit in Drama / Romance territory. If that's the register that drew you to Breathless, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Ask the Dust is

Robert Towne returns to Chinatown-mode, with less success. Aspiring writer Arturo Bandini and Mexican immigrant Camilla fall in love in Depression-era Los Angeles, complicating their respective dreams of fame and fortune. It is hard to make a romantic movie about unsympathetic people.
