In the eternal city of Macondo, seven generations of the Buendía family navigate love, oblivion, and the inevitability of their past and their destiny. This is Netflix’s most expensive project made in Latin America to date, with Colombian groups and indigenous communities constructing the props and sets for the series. Spellbinding. A visual marvel and a philosophical masterpiece. Pure magic. So light and easy to watch, yet so profound. An adaptation that definitely lives up to the source material. I wish I could speak Spanish, as I’m sure it’s much better in the original language, but it’s quite mesmerizing in English. Not to mention how wonderful the cast is. Simply incredible. This is a near-perfect translation of Gabriel García Márquez’s Magnum Opus: Cien años de Soledad. Beautiful cinematography, an enigmatic and interesting plot, insanely written characters, a love letter to Gabriel! It made me want to read the book again after decades.. "One Hundred Years of Solitude" is one of the biggest TV and streaming releases this month. Check out our December calendar for more!
