Americano (Dir: Demy) (Demy, Hayek, Chaplin, etc)
In Paris, the relationship between Martin (Demy) and Claire (Mastroianni) is at an impasse. His mother's death suddenly calls Martin back to Los Angeles to deal with inheritance formalities, the town where he spent his childhood. In Los Angeles he is helped by a family friend, Linda who takes him to his mother's home and the neighbourhood he grew up in. This return to childhood haunts provokes several buried memories that appear to disturb Martin. After speaking with a neighbour, Martin goes to Tijuana in Mexico, looking for Lola (Hayek), a close friend of his mother's. He tracks her down to the Americano, a club where Lola works as a dancer. However, to find resolution, Martin must face up to his past
well...Salma Hayek has aged very well. i don't think I've see this much of her body since Frida. Granted..I'm not a Hayek fan..but she is attractive and has talent. Happy to see her in SAVAGES via Stone. Hayek's body gets an A+. She's 45 now. She filmed this when she was 44. Wow.
Not sure if I dig the premise or not. It's Demy's first directorial film. Came out last year in some festivals. Hayek garnered a nomination or two for her work. so maybe it's a note worthy piece of work. discuss.
