In the timeless city of Macondo, seven generations of the Buendía family navigate love, oblivion, and the inevitability of their past and destiny. This is Netflix’s most expensive Latin American project to date with Colombian bands and indigenous communities building props and sets for the series. Mesmerizing. A visual marvel and a philosophical masterpiece. Pure magic. So light and easy to watch, yet so profound. An adaptation that definitely does justice to the source material. I wish I could speak Spanish because I’m sure it’s much better in the original language, but it’s quite fascinating in English. Not to mention how incredible the cast is. Simply incredible. This is a near-complete translation of Gabriel Garcia Marquez’s Magnum Opus: Cien años de Soledad. Beautiful description, enigmatic and interesting plot, incredibly written characters, a love letter to Gabriel!. It made me reread the book after decades. “One Hundred Years of Solitude” is one of the biggest TV and streaming premieres this month. Find out more in our December calendar!
