Sugar heiress Antoinette Cosway (Karina Lombard, The Firm) is an aristocratic, convent-schooled Creole who falls hard for repressed Englishman Edward Rochester (Nathaniel Parker, The Bodyguard). Her parents, Annette Cosway (Rachel Ward, Against All Odds, TVs “The Thorn Birds”) and Paul Mason (Michael York, Austin Powers in Goldmember) approve of their union, and of Edward’s pure Anglo bloodline, not realizing that he is, in fact, marrying their daughter for her dowry. Once they begin their life together, Edward becomes captivated by Antoinette’s untamed sensuality, and a mutual passion overtakes them. The exotic beauty of the Caribbean masks many secrets of sensual pleasure and dark temptations, and when an obsessed Antoinette resorts to black magic to keep Edward from going astray, their world spirals into seduction, betrayal, and, ultimately, revenge. The DVD 9 includes both the R-rated and NC-17 widescreen (1.85:1) versions of the film, 5.1 Surround Sound, DTS Surround Sound, Stereo Surround Sound, English subtitles, closed captions, animated menus and the original theatrical trailer, as well as trailers from other New Line Home Entertainment films. |
