Cholera

I watched this movie yesterday based on the book by Gabriel García Márquez with the same name. It is set in South America in the late 1800's. A sad and long love story about a man who spends all his life waiting to marry a woman he has loved since his youth (50 some odd years). Jarvier Bardem's aging process is incredible to watch. The lead girl, Giovanna Mezzogiorno, is very famous in Italy and she is agonizingly good also... An incredible cast of foreign talent. I think Benjamin Bratt who was also very good to watch might of been the only well know American ... Oh! and John Leguizamo is always a pleasure as well, he's very intense in this. Nice to see him in a period piece.
