Closed Captioned; Additional Footage; Soundtrack English; Soundtrack French; Soundtrack Spanish; English Subtitles Late 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. Original Sin Reviews: "...[Jolie] turns on the heat....[Banderas] looks interested, very interested..."
-- Peter Travers, Rolling Stone "...ORIGINAL SIN remains compulsively watchable thanks to leads Antonio Banderas [and Angelina Jolie]....The pic is gorgeous..."
-- Lisa Nesselson, Variety "...[The film] looks beautiful....[Shot] on locations that are lush but elegant..."
-- Keith Perry, Sight and Sound "...There are surprises on top of surprises....Jolie continues to stalk through pictures entirely on her own terms..."
-- Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times

If you like Torrid Romances...
this movie is a keeper. The fact that it didn't do well at the box office just goes to show what a lack of romance exists in this country today.ugh..so sad

Sex as you wish you knew it-love as it could be- deception like life itself. This movie is the real deal. Antonio is vulnerable in love with sex as he has never known it. Anjolie is what every woman believes herself possible. It is hot, hot, hot.

 Steamy love scenes are all that is offered
This movie has it's high and low moments(mostly low),but it's worth watching just for the sexy love scenes.Angelina Jolie is super hot and she steams up the screen.

From his current post in Antarctica, British glaciologist Matt (Kieran O'Brien), recalls how he met Lisa (Margo Stilley), a 21-year-old American student. They were at a rock concert at London's Brixton Academy, and he took her back to his apartment for sex. This began a brief relationship, which is revealed as Matt remembers and comments on its milestones--mainly the other concerts they attended and their significant sexual experiences--before their initial sexual attraction waned and they were forced to part.
The titular nine songs are comprised of concert performances by 1) Primal Scream, 2) Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, 3) Elbow, 4) Michael Nyman, 5) Super Furry Animals, 6) The Dandy Warhols, 7) Von Bondies, 8) Black Rebel Motorcycle Club again, and 9) Franz Ferdinand. Shot on often-blurry, handheld digital video from an audience perspective, these scenes have a you-are-there effect. The sequences involving Matt and Lisa are intimate and realistic (be warned--the sex in the film is real and graphic), conveying everything one needs to ...

She is mousy and lacking in self-esteem even when she gets her big break to work on the launch of a major beauty product for her mean-spirited, ruthless boss.
