Love in the Time of Cholera

.....or as I read it:"El Amor en los Tiempos del Cólera". A beautifully written novel from one of my favorite authors, Gabriel García Marquez. García is a Colombian author who won the Nobel Prize for literature in 1982. His masterpiece, "Cien Años de Soledad" ("One Hundred Years of Solitude") has to be one of the most influential pieces in Latin-American literature and beyond.

Now, one of his novels has been translated into film. "Love in the Time of Cholera" is a story about the twists and turns that life makes and how one man's devotion to an unobtainable love influenced his life. It is incredibly written and so I have very high expectations for the film. The cast seems great and the only thing a bit disappointing is that it should have been made in its original language, Spanish, but I guess they wanted to make it more "commercial". I haven't been this excited for a movie in so long. It's set to have a limited release in the US on November 12th. Our movie theatre's website does not have any info on it, so maybe I could be watching this film in DC ! Exciting!!!
