very touching film about two people purging their demons in the context of a cholera epidemic. One complaint: the first half hour was dedicated to how they met, married, and ended up in the mist of the epidemic. This could've been slowed down a bit in order to really flesh out the characters and truly understand their motives in a way that was less superficial than it turned out to be. Yes, we got it, but a deeper understanding of their personalities would've given us the opportunity to sympathise a bit more with both of them earlier on. I haven't read the book, so if the book is written in the same way, then the movie can't be faulted.

This was great movie. Not what i expected at all and a pleasure to watch.

It was painful really. 160mn so long and sooo slow. A long movie where it's not happening much. I had no feeling for the characters and therefore didn't care what it could happen to them. For a love story it is a big disappointment. With such a cast you could expect better.Despite of the length of the film, I had the impression that it's been cut short as if they had spent too much money or had no film tape left. Don't waste your time!
