I think this is from the 90's. It is about a large foreign woman (maybe german) and she carries a briefcase or something. Anyway she stops at this dusty hotel in the middle of the desert and starts working as a cleaning lady or something. There is a african american boy that plays "ave maria" on the piano. There is also a Native American man, I think, who is a painter at this place. He may work in a trailer, I don't know it has been a while since I have seen it. I also think he had something to do with rattlesnakes or something... Anyway, he ends up painting this woman, and every time he paints her she gets more and more undressed. Its not porn or anything, it is a legitimate movie. She holds a vase of flowers or something in each painting.. The woman doesn't speak much english if I remember right. Please help if you have seen it or know the title, it is killing me!!

Hi. You are thinking of a 1988 movie. It is titled The Bagdad Café. In 1990 U.S. television tried to make a series of it. It flopped.

Here is a link so you can see the plot summary/details:
