This film is painstakingly romantic.
Edward Norton as Walter Fane is a man of dedication, commitment and underrated love. While his wife, Naomi Watts as Kitty Fane is the imperfect, spoiled, and more unrestricted one.
The film’s location (a remote town in China in the time of Cholera) is an appropriate back drop for a nearly broken marriage. The situation Fanes’ are into is hard enough to deal with, yet the calmness of nature helped in making it more bearable for the audience.
Meanwhile, the epidemic showed the couple the reality that people are suffering from worse conditions than them, and there are endless ways to be of service to fellowmen.
Before I forget, the topic of Infidelity opened up the film, and in the end it was nonetheless confirmed, that love, forgiveness and acceptance can help a person stand up from her/his mistakes and face life anew.
Sidenote: It pains a lot to see a noble character die in a rivaling disease from which he once lead a battle.
My Recommendation: MUST WATCH.
