Re: Have you seen Siesta?

209.240.205.63


I bought the vhs of Siesta about a year ago, and so far, have only watched about 3/4 of it. I've been meaning to get back to it...I don't hate it, and like you mentioned, the cast is great...and Ellen Barkin gets very naked (I find this a good thing)...the director takes a somewhat offbeat approach to story telling in this film (imo), but I do find it interesting.

As you say, Gabe again gets little screen time...what's with this guy, a lack of ego, or a desire to work as little as possible? Then again, maybe he was busy...he ended up marrying Barkin after this film, so I supose all was not lost (they later divorced, so I could be very wrong).

Byrne acted in (again, a small role) and produced Into the West...this may go down as his crowning achievement...a very good film that by all accounts, was a tough sell to get made.

For a REALLY bizarre film with Gabe, check out Ken Russells' Gothic.

All the best,

Gary
