Cronaca di una morte annunciata

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.

I saw this movie when I was a little boy, just 10 years old. I'm almost 21 now and I will remember this one forever. This is one of those movies you once see, and love so much, but are afraid of not getting another chance to see it again. I have forgotten some parts of the film, and i would do anything to see it again, just to remember it to see if it still would be one of my favourites. So i hope someone reads this and maybe can help me? I liked it so much I sudently got interested of reading Gabriel Garcia Marquez' tales and books, so I told my father to read some of them for me. I now am a big fan of Garcia Marquez. I'm a movie lover and my favourite movies are such as The Usual Supects, The Shawshank Redemption, Memento, Schindler's List, Life is Beautiful + many, many more. Good movie. Please forgive me for my bad english... Peace y'all

this film is impossible to find...which is too bad because I would absolutely love to see it again. I saw it when I was 13 years old and it made such an impression that I read Marques's book and here I am 17 years later still trying to find it! It is romantic, dreamy and a real pleasure to watch. Anthony Delon, Rupert Everett and Ornella Muti deliver a truly unforgettable story.

If anyone know where I can get a copy- see it first and then PLEASE let me know where I can get one!

It was perfect to compare what I have felt while reading the book and how the movie shows it...Readers will not be dissappointed.

My favorite book, brief, suspenseful, and frighteningly real in scope and character. Having recently lived through Katrina as a physician at various aid stations, rescue squads into the city, etc. it brought me back to this book and a film I saw when I was in my early teens. It speaks of the tragedy of modern life, where apathy can settle like dust and no one is responsible for their neighbor. The riverside town in the heart of Colombia, trapped in an absurd past where an unspoken code of conduct is barbarously enforced (against even the enforcers' wishes, I might add), is fleshed out masterfully. This is one remake I am desperately hoping I live to see, and one movie I wish I could see again.
