The Paraguayan sex comedy Original Sin (Pecado Original) is primarily a social satire, sending up the stiffness of Paraguay’s upper class. A young married couple is trapped by the roles expected of them, and the wife chafes at her life devoid of anything except daytime TV and day-drinking. The husband is a prig, and has a particular repression that no male audience member will be able to relate to. The wife MAY have purchased a painting at a charity auction, and the impossibly handsome artist show up to deliver the painting. Raucous, and fairly predictable, humor ensues. A duel-by-badminton is pretty funny.
Cinequest hosted the North American premiere of Original Sin.
