Cast
Plot
Gabriel Garcia Marquez's dark, brooding, atmospheric, humid, immense novel finally, and inevitably, gets a big screen adaptation and, as with that other great South American period epic House of Ghosts', the overwhelming feeling is why? Don't get me wrong, this is still a gloriously visualised tale of love and obsession through the ages, but it would take a true genius to direct the novel of a true genius. If you've not read the book then there's much to enjoy, if you have hold tight to your memories.
