Jazz trumpeter Miles Davis performed on the score for the film, Music from Siesta, which was written and arranged by frequent Davis collaborator Marcus Miller. Film critic Janet Maslin called it an "excitingly bad, artily experimental film". The film performed poorly at the box office. While it was nominated for an Independent Spirit Award for Best First Feature in 1988, the film was also nominated for two Razzie Awards as both Grace Jones and Isabella Rossellini were nominated as Worst Supporting Actress. LESS
