DiAMOND’s newest release features Oscar winner Javier Bardem in the main role and that should be a good enough reason to try it. Frankly, it’s only an averagely rated romantic drama, and with a 139 minutes runtime, will mostly attract fans of the genre. Quality of this 2 CD release is very good.
Synopsis: Gabriel Garcia Marquez?s novel LOVE IN THE TIME OF CHOLERA straddles the line between pop and art, and manages to be both a bestseller and a literary masterpiece. With an excellent cast and a timeless story, Mike Newell?s cinematic adaptation strives for that same balance. As a young man in 19th-century Colombia, Florentino Ariza (played primarily by Javier Bardem) falls in love with a beautiful woman named Fermina (Giovanna Mezzogiorno). But an overprotective father (John Leguizamo) and too much reality intrude on their romance, and Fermina marries a successful doctor, Juvenal Urbino (Benjamin Bratt). But a wedding ring–and the passing decades–aren?t enough to dissuade Florentino from his love, even as he beds hundreds of women as he tries to get over his undying passion.
