Liefde in tijden van cholera: het boek was beter...:) A novel about endless devotion has been turned into a film that seems to go on forever. Is love a disease, as Marquez possibly wanted us to believe? Maybe, but in the case of this adaptation, its more of a laughing sickness. Despite some lovely design and cinematography, Mike Newells adaptation of the novel by Gabriel Garcia Marquez is ruined before it can get going by some disastrous casting. Listless, poorly scripted, badly acted and displaying an unforgivable misinterpretation of its source material, Cholera is easily one of the worst adaptations of a great book ever mounted. Newell and Harwood completely missed the mark with this one, turning a complex love story into a superficial period film with no heart or heat. El universo literario de Gabriel García Márquez como sólo Hollywood podía hacerlo: vistoso, prolijo, insípido, superficial. Ni siquiera Javier Bardem logra rescatarlo del olvido. Love is a very weird thing.
