Original Sin Antonio Banderas
Antonio Banderas Original Sin on DVD and Original Sin on VHS too!
Original Sin DescriptionLate nineteenth century Cuba.
Dawn. At the docks, Luis (Antonio Banderas) waits for his American mail-order
bride. But, his wait seems to be in vain. Then, magically, she appears--Julia
(Angelina Jolie). And, she is beautiful, unlike the woman whose picture she
sent. But Luis had lied as well--he wrote that he was only a clerk in the coffee
company that he actually owns. In spite of their deceptions, they marry
immediately. They are blissfully happy, although Julia has her demons. She has
nightmares, she ignores her sister's letters, and--mysteriously--won't open her
trunk. Her sister sends an unnerving detective to check that she arrived. Still
unsatisfied, her sister arrives herself. That's when Julia disappears with the
money in Luis's bank accounts, instantaneously transforming Luis's dream into a
nightmare. Scriptwriter/director Michael Cristofer explores sexual obsession and
deception in ORIGINAL SIN. The sumptuous thriller, based on Cornell Woolrich's
classic noir novel, has elegant, lush photography by Mexican director of
photography Roderigo Prieto, and a Cuban-inflected jazz score by composer
Terence Blanchard. Thomas Jane is forceful as the detective. Antonio Banderas
captures Luis's bliss, bewilderment, and anger perfectly. But, the troubled
center of the movie is Julia, and Angelina Jolie is at her best as she reveals
the joy and turmoil of a woman who doesn't know how to deal with love and can't
break free from her past. |
