Love in the Time of Cholera is a 2007 motion picture directed by Mike Newell. Based on the novel of the same name by Gabriel Garcia Márquez, it tells the story of a love triangle between Fermina Daza (played by Giovanna Mezzogiorno) and her two suitors, Florentino Ariza (Javier Bardem) and Doctor Juvenal Urbino (Benjamin Bratt) which spans 50 years, from 1880 to 1930.

Producer Scott Steindorff spent over three years courting Gabriel Garcia Márquez for the rights to the book telling him that he was Florentino and wouldn't give up until he got the rights.[1]

It will be the first time that a Garcia Márquez novel has been made into a film by a Hollywood studio, others being made by Latin American or Italian directors. It is also the first English language work of Academy Award-nominated Brazilian actress Fernanda Montenegro.

Film locations

Much of the film takes place in the historic, walled city of Cartagena in Colombia.

Cast

Critical reception

The film received negative to mixed reviews from critics. As of November 17, 2007 on the review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes, 29% of critics gave the film positive reviews, based on 82 reviews.[2] On Metacritic, the film had an average score of 44 out of 100, based on 27 reviews.[3]

Soundtrack

On his own initiative, García Márquez convinced Grammy-winning singer-songwriter Shakira, who hails from the nearby city of Barranquilla, to provide two songs for the film. The songs were written with Brazilian composer Antonio Pinto. The full score was composed by Pinto, who also scored City of God and Lord of War.

The Love in The Time of Cholera - EP[[1]] and full soundtrack were released exclusively on iTunes on November 13, 2007.
