Original Sin (2001)
7/10
Love will tear us apart again (DVD)
13 February 2011
Back to back with director Cristofer and this time, he finally has a decent movie: Gone the stupid scripts, the flashy pain because here it's a good love story mated with a riveting thriller.

At first, when i discovered that the story was set in Spanish culture (explaining the casting of Banderas), i was dubious but the director really focuses on the characters and their relationships. In addition, his camera is quick and it has the exciting move of surrounding, traveling the characters, even as they walk. But, he is maybe too fast because i don't understand two moments: first, when Banderas meets again with the detective, why there's no mention of their Sunday meeting? Two, why did they go then to Havana?

Overall, I think this movie offers great lines about love ("to give") and lust ("to take") and portrays true lovers, because Banderas and Angie are ready to follow whatever the blows they got. (Personnaly, i lived that and i quit!).

I admit that Banderas is a truly gifted actor and that it was cool to see Angelina back in her old powerful characters after her recent failures. Jane (the actor) is really the irritating guy because he has already annoyed "La" Bellucci in "Under suspicion".
