Love in the Time of Cholera

The film begins in South America in the year 1879 and continues, well, for the lifetime of its characters.
.
Corsets and carriages, cemeteries and stripes. Enough of our favorite things to distract us from brown paper packages and string.
.
Shades of New Orleans, the Outer Banks, Charleston, and the Keys. Reminiscent of Phantom of the Opera and Perfume.
.
"And then I discovered to my utter joy that it is life, not death, that has no limits."
