If you loved Grandes esperanzas, try El amor en los tiempos del cólera
Un puente entre una película que ya has visto y una que casi nadie ha cruzado. Esto es lo que comparten, y lo que la segunda hace que la primera no hace.
Lo que comparten
Both films are directed by Mike Newell, and they both carry the bittersweet mood tag, and they sit in Drama / Romance territory. If that's the register that drew you to Grandes esperanzas, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What El amor en los tiempos del cólera is
A 19th-century romance begins when a man survives a fall only to insist he’s been devoted to his wife for decades. Back in youth, a lovesick telegraph worker pursues a merchant’s daughter who gradually cools on the idea. The film settles for pretty scenery and a parade of starched collars instead of actual chemistry.
