The woman's head also moves toward the man's crotch and judging from his facial expression she's presumably engaged in fellatio.
We see them from different angles, including from above, as they are entangled with the man on top, and between the woman's legs. One is extended: the married participants are nude and we see several shots of the woman's breasts - the man gropes her bosom a couple of times.
One is sitting on a man's lap and moves rhythmically (she's clothed) one open door reveals a woman breast-feeding her baby another reveals a naked prostitute sponging and cleaning herself. There are a couple of scenes in a bordello, and one is explicit: prostitutes walk around topless, smiling and inviting men we see a few through open doors. A man and a woman neck and kiss several times, often passionately. R, abundant nudity, very graphic sex, some mild profanity, some mild violence.SEX/NUDITY 8 - There's a lot of cleavage throughout, several shots of a woman's bare breasts, some sexual innuendo, some explicit sex talk, and some talk of visiting prostitutes. Goodness knows there’s no other reason to watch it. It establishes that Julia and Luis are now passionately in love with each other - and then, once it’s established that, it goes on for a few more minutes.Īll things considered, though, admirers of Jolie or Banderas might want to see the film just for that scene. Twenty minutes into “Original Sin,” there is a surprisingly graphic sex scene between Jolie and Banderas. The director is Michael Cristofer, whose only other feature-film credit is 1999’s “Body Shots.” If you had seen that dreadful movie, you would know that it existed only as an excuse to show people talking about and/or having sex. It’s no wonder the film was delayed a year before it was released MGM is now just cutting its losses and putting it in theaters, hoping to make a few dollars off a handful of poor, hapless souls. The last 15 minutes or so plummet into deep, disturbed absurdity. Banderas and Jolie speak in over-passionate cadences, making their characters seem even more aloof and unlikable.
This is a dull, languid film full of unsurprising plot twists and ludicrous soap opera-style melodrama. Luis is obsessed with the woman and can’t stop loving her, despite her injuries to him the detective seems to have a personal agenda, too. Turns out Julia wasn’t who she said she was, and Luis isn’t the only one after her: A detective (Thomas Jane) is on the case, too. And marrying a stranger seemed like such a good idea…! Things are blissful for two or three seconds, at which point Julia steals all Luis’ money and disappears. So they get married and then fall in love after all. Luis has invited her to Cuba to marry him - not because he’s in love, but because he wants a wife who is agreeable, pleasant, and of a child-bearing age. Jolie plays a saucy tart named Julia Russell, a Baltimore woman who has exchanged correspondence with Luis Vargas (Antonio Banderas), a wealthy businessman in 1880 Cuba. It is the only thing in the movie that does. But it is ABOUT love - specifically, about the lengths to which people might go when they are madly in love. The film is certainly no love story, as it is completely devoid of romance or chemistry between its two leads. Though that sounds contradictory, it actually makes sense.
She is the heroine of the film and its occasional narrator, and she says, “This is not a love story. “Original Sin” begins with a close-up of Angelina Jolie’s grotesque lips.
