Review of Siesta

Siesta (1987)
1/10
Complete stinkbomb.
24 March 2004
Warning: Spoilers
This is a truly dull and ponderous movie, with one redeeming feature: Ellen Barkin exposes her lovely body in a very comprehensive manner. If you carry a torch for Ellen Barkin, go ahead and watch this film. Otherwise, I wouldn't bother. The Washington Post film critic Rita Kemply accurately dubbed this film "Yawn of the Dead."

The plot: our heroine wakes up in Spain, without any recollection of how she came to be there. This is one of those movies where the main character is dead, but doesn't know it. Don't worry, I didn't "blow the surprise," because you would have figured it out within like five minutes anyway. So, she relives her final days and sees how she died. She gets naked and gets it on with a Spanish dude while she is at it.

So, I would only watch this movie to satisfy a purient interest to see Ellen Barken in her most naked role.
