La película utiliza el título para establecer una metáfora: el amor es tratado como una dolencia física, similar al cólera. Los síntomas de Florentino (diarrea, vómitos, palidez) cuando es rechazado equiparan el desamor a una patología médica.
Cuando se habla de grandes historias de amor obsesivo y espera perpetua, es imposible no mencionar la novela cumbre de Gabriel García Márquez: El amor en los tiempos del cólera. Llevar una obra maestra del Realismo Mágico al cine es un reto mayúsculo.

The book’s power comes from its claim that love is stronger than decay; the film shows only the sentiment, not the stench.
