Ultimately, Love in the Time of Cholera is a romance novel. When it was put on the movie screen, stripped of all the literary charm of the great writers, and converted into images, the love story became its only essence. But it does not belong to any of the love routines we are familiar with. When the author weaves the possibilities of love and sex in this novel, he exhausts all kinds of ridiculous, absurd and real situations.
The film is very faithful to the original book in terms of plot, and if it is shot according to the clues of the original book, I am afraid that the resulting film will be dazzled in time and space, making "21 Grams" seem straightforward. The film has always revolved around the one-on-one relationship between Filentino Areza and Fermina Dara, with a focus on the discussion of eternal and moral boundaries in love.
