When Charlize Theron wants to do some Oscar worthy role, she just goes straight for the most depressing movies she can think of, doesn’t she?! (Monster, North Country, Sleepwalking). I know this is just an international poster but it’s the only one so far I’ve seen about this ‘heavy’ film. Plus, it’s interesting to kinda wonder that back in her day, Kim Bassinger was like the Charlize Theron of her time. But age doesn’t matter for these two because both are still just as attractive and talented as ever. By the way, this movie’s written and directed by Guillermo Arriaga, who’s not working with his writing friend Alejandro Gonzales Inarritu anymore (Babel, 21 Grams)
Plot:
A romantic mystery about a woman on the edge who takes an emotional journey back to the defining moment of her life. Oscar-winner Charlize Theron plays Sylvia, a beautiful restaurant manager whose cool, professional demeanor masks the sexually charged storm within. When a stranger from Mexico confronts her with her mysterious past, Sylvia is launched into a journey through space and time that inextricably connects her to these disparate characters, all of whom are grappling with their own romantic destinies. In Mexico, a young motherless girl, Maria (Tessa Ia), lives happily with her father and his best friend until a tragic accident changes it all. In the New Mexico border town of Las Cruces, two teenagers, Mariana (Jennifer Lawrence) and Santiago (JD Pardo), find love in the aftermath of their parents’ sudden deaths. In an abandoned trailer, a housewife, Gina (Oscar-winner Kim Basinger), embarks on a passionate affair that will put Sylvia and the others on a collision course with the explosive power of forbidden love.
