Review of Love in the Time of Cholera (2007) by Katiem. — 30 Dec 2007
I haven't read the book, but I am familiar enough with Marquez's other works to know what kind of atmosphere the director was attempting to recreate. Needless to say, the attempt failed miserably.
What resulted was a shmaltzy and tedious storyline that even Javier Bardem couldn't redeem. I will also never understand why directors insist on close-up shots when their actors are plastered with comically bad geriatric makeup.
Where was the editor?? I'm giving it two stars because at least it made me laugh.
