Siesta (1987)

Title: Siesta
Released: 1987
Genre: Drama / Mystery
Runtime: 93 min
Country: USA
Language: English

Plot Summary: Claire (an American) wakes up in a terrible state at the end of a runway in Spain. As she tries to account for her state (blood soaked and bruised) she has flashbacks from the past few days. She thinks she's killed someone, but isn't sure, and now she's wandering the Spannish streets without money or a clear memory.

Comments: Overall pretty good, kind of a mind-bending mild thriller. It looks as if the director trimmed out some of the original movie that might have helped fill in a gap or two here. Nonetheless, it is an interesting film with good acting, particularly with Ellen Barkin. Interesting supporting cast, too, that includes Julian Sands, Isabella Rossellini, Jodie Foster and Grace Jones.
