I recently had the chance to sit down and talk to Guillermo Arriaga, Oscar-nominated filmmaker who's known for writing fantastic films such as "21 Grams," "The Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada" and "Babel." Arriaga most recently wrote and directed "The Burning Plain," and here is what the film is about:
A romantic mystery about a woman on the edge who takes an emotional journey back to the defining moment of her life. Charlize Theron plays Sylvia, a beautiful restaurant manager whose cool, professional demeanor masks the sexually charged storm within.
