Based on the novel "El amor en los tiempos del cólera" by Gabriel García Marquez.
Benjamin Bratt, Giovanna Mezzogiorno, Javier Bardem, Liev Schreiber.
Florentino is a poetry-writing telegraph operator who lives in a Central American city. He spots the graceful Fermina while making his rounds, and finds himself in love. While Florentino's mother encourages the courtship, Fermina's father absolutely forbids it. Years pass, and the well-born Dr. Urbino treats Fermina for a case of cholera. When Urbino proposes, Fermina accepts. A distraught Florentino decides to wait. With the help of his uncle, he amasses wealth of his own. All the while, he drifts from woman to woman, never really finding what he is looking for in a woman. After five decades of waiting, he gets a second chance to win Fermina's heart.
DVD, region 1; Dolby Digital, widescreen (2.35:1).
Contents: Amor en los tiempos del cólera.

A Complicated Love Story submitted by mcreader on August 15, 2018, 6:21pm This movie is revolves around the relationships of 3 people (2 men and 1 women). Fermina and Florento are in love but due to circumstances they can't be together. Fermina eventhually marries Urbino. What will happen??? (Watch the movie = ) The cast performs well and are believable. It seems like a straight-forward plot but it is very nuanced and makes the viewer question what is the true definition of love. It is an entertaining film!

Very emotional film submitted by neit on August 30, 2019, 11:12pm Well-acted film. A melodrama that keeps you on a constant emotional rollercoaster. The actors did a very nice job. It will leave the viewers taking about the film well after it has ended.
