Barkin is truly great!

'Siesta' is one of the most underrated film of the 80's. I can understand why some people hate it, but I would urge everyone to see it, because if you do and like it, you will end up loving it. It has stayed in my head for over 10 years from just 3 viewings and truly is an experience and if anybody works out the true meaning of the film, please fill me in.

Alongside the film you also get a truly exceptional soundtrack from Miles Davis no less. I bought the cassette the same time I saw the film and continue to play it.

The minute anyone hears of this coming out on DVD, please tell me and I would like two questions to be answered

1. Why does Ellen Barkin not work more? she is a fantastic actress

2. How did Mary Lambert end up directing so many bad films after this?
