I saw this movie in Denmark upon its worldwide release most likely in 1987 or could it have been early 1988. The movie has stayed with me forever. Through the years, through the decades, scenes and moods have kept popping up in my mind. I feel wrapped in a tropic heatwave of emotions so many years after. Ornella Muti shines along with a multifaceted and utterly fascinating cast and so does Gabriel Garcia Marquez' hypnotising plot which is so heartbreakingly foreboding. Lush, atmospheric, wonderful and sad. A grand romance. I wish I could witness this movie's splendours just one more time. The movie poster is iconic, by the way.
