Review of Love in the Time of Cholera (2007) by Paul P — 03 Mar 2013
The film does not reflect the depth or magic of the novel, but few films do, especially films adaptations of semi-mystical South American novels; such as the poorly done but finely casted Allende novel, House of the Spirits.
Bardem shines as the introspective but passionate idealist main character, the sets, styling and music work well, but the whole does not connect as it should for so beautiful a story and tension between idealist and practical love.
Still a film to be enjoyed, I think it needed a South American director to bring out the inner passion and visions of its main characters.
