Jen welcomes Julie (@ chimericalgirl1 on Twitter) to celebrate an almost entirely forgotten erotic thriller with art house ambitions, Siesta, from 1987. This one’s quite overlooked in spite of a stacked cast that includes Ellen Barkin, Gabriel Byrne, Jodie Foster, Julian Sands, Grace Jones, and Alexei Sayle.

We admit, this one’s hard to track down unless you’re willing to hunt for PAL and/or bootleg DVDs, but you can hear some of the sultry Miles Davis/Marcus Miller soundtrack!
