Excuse me? Did they invent a new story?


Had no idea Fantes masterpiece was made into a movie, but reading the content of this movie here on IMDb, I cannot believe that should be the gist of the film.

Mexican beauty Camilla hopes to rise above her station by marrying a wealthy American. That is complicated by meeting Arturo Bandini, a first-generation Italian hoping to land a writing career and a blue-eyed blonde on his arm.


Such utter nonsense. Reason enough NOT to watch the movie. Ask the Dust is one of the great masterpieces of american literature, and as someone else justly stated on this forum: some books should stay books.

I cant agree more and so I wont watch this. I just saw the trailer it seems they completely destroyed the Fante book.
