Based on the novel by Gabriel Garcia Marquez and directed by Mike Newell (Four Weddings and a Funeral, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire), this sweeping romantic epic spans a half-century in the complex, magical and sensual city of Cartagena, Colombia, and tells the story of a man who waits over fifty years for his one true love. Academy Award nominee Javier Bardem stars as Florentino Ariza, a poet and telegraph clerk who discovers his life's passion when he sees Fermina Daza (Giovanna Mezzogiorno) through the window of her father's villa. Through a series of passionate letters, Florentino gradually awakens the beautiful young woman's heart, but her father is furious when he learns of the affair, and vows to keep them apart forever. Years pass. Florentino, now a wealthy ship owner, engages in a series of affairs but does not forget Fermina. His heart is patient, and he will wait a lifetime for the chance to be with her again. "Bardem is a noble presence, and the film has been shot and scored with eloquent understatement " Variety Showing:02-Jul Petersfield 10-Jul Kings Somborne
