Showing tonight on 7
Antonio Banderas stars as Luis Vargas, a wealthy Cuban businessman who seeks out an American wife. Luis believes Americans represent the future, and that his own countrymen - and women - are mired in the past and their traditions. After months of corresponding with Julia Russell, the day comes when she sails to his country to be his bride. Angelina Jolie (Julia) departs from the ship, looking nothing like the photos shes sent prior to her voyage. Julia explains she wants more than a man who is interested in a pretty face, and thats why shes been deceptive - substituting a plain-looking woman in place of her own picture. Luis also admits to deception; hes been misleading her into believing hes a poor workingman, instead of the rich owner of a coffee company.
Luis and Julia wed within hours of her setting foot in Cuba. Passion and lust lay just below the surface as the two begin to discover each other over the next few days. It doesnt take long for Julia and Luis to end up consummating their marriage (the “R” rating on this film is well-deserved). Luis falls passionately in love with his new bride, while Julia seems to be fighting inner demons while holding herself back from too deep an emotional involvement.
Im sure it was the coffee that attracted her.
