Original Sin (2001) — A wealthy Cuban coffee-magnate, Luis Vargas, arranges for an American bride via correspondence. When the alluring Julia Russell arrives, she is nothing like the plain photo he received. Both harbour secrets: he misrepresented his status, she disguised her appearance. What begins as a whirlwind marriage turns into a dangerous dance of deceit, obsession and betrayal — with Julia’s dark past catching up in ways Luis never imagined. showtimes.com+3Wikipedia+3Roger Ebert+3
