The Contrarians191 - Pt. 2 - Original Sin (RT)

It’s unavoidable to spend much of this Real Talk segment analyzing the tawdrier aspects of ORIGINAL SIN, but fear not, we also talk about other noteworthy elements in it. Roger Ebert liked this movie, for crying out loud! So what works and what doesn’t in this alleged love story, and how much relevance does desire have in the proceedings? Jolie, Banderas, Jane… is this a triumph for them, regardless of what Rotten Tomatoes says? And is it worth hunting down that unrated edition?
