Love in the Time of Cholera 2007 New York Times

But one sure footed performance can t salvage the movie. The literary texture that elevates Florentino s story to epic proportion on the page is missing here. Garc a M rquez Florentino comes across as a pallid Xerox copy of the author s creation. One fundamental problem is the disconnection between the novel s Colombian born author and the movie s creators. Juvenal represents the new era of science technology and pragmatic problem solving. If romantic love is a disease like cholera Juvenal has the knowledge and wherewithal to cure it. Mezzogiorno the Italian actress who plays Fermina is attractive and sultry. The character has the temperament of a heavy thunderstorm the actress conveys only distant rumbles and flickers of lightning. As Florentino and Fermina age more than years Mr. Mezzogiorno s much less convincing decline reminds you of the bluish haired Elizabeth Taylor at the end of Giant. Although he has bedded more than women Florentino saves his ess! ential self for Fermina. The movie pushes this fable of endless love in the sentimental direction of On Golden Pond. The book s philosophic content is reduced to a few scattered asides. The crucial missing ingredient for which no amount of lush scenery can substitute is the voice of Mr. Garc a M rquez s omniscient narrator. The language of Love in the Time of Cholera is its lifeblood. Where the novel wraps you in an intoxicating sensuality the movie shrinks from the overwhelming physicality of Mr. Garc a M rquez s imagination. In its scenes of disease it politely wrinkles its nose before hurrying on. Garc a M rquez s writing are absent. Love in the Time of Cholera has no voice of its own. The movie is rated R Under requires accompanying parent or adult guardian . It has sexual situations. com realestate What you get for .
