How Hollywood Gave ‘Cholera’ a Delicate Treatment
Tagged: Gabriel García Márquez, Hollywood
Hubris is required to take on Gabriel García Márquez’s “Love in the Time of Cholera” and render it in celluloid: It’s a Spanish language masterpiece by a Nobel Prize winner, spanning over 50 years, a marathon meditation on eternal, faithful love and epic, perennial philandering. One man, one love, many, many partners — 622, each conquest meticulously recorded, detailed and appreciated.
Then there’s the whole magical realism thing, a maliciously mischievous parrot, a seemingly immortal turtle. Not to mention the sufficient suspension of disbelief the viewer/reader needs to swallow that an elderly man has the sex appeal to bed a nubile, and eager, 14-year-old girl.”*
