In the timeless town of Macondo, seven generations of the Buendía family deal with love, oblivion, and the inevitability of their past and destiny. This is Netflix’s most expensive Latin American project to date, with Colombian groups and indigenous communities building props and sets for the series. Adapting One Hundred Years of Solitude as a film is an extremely difficult task for two main reasons. First, this novel belongs to a particular literary movement, pioneered by South American writers, especially Gabriel García Márquez, and in which the story is told through a mixture of reality and fantasy. Sometimes this fusion is so intense that separating the two seems impossible. Of course, when shooting scenes like this, there is a risk that they will appear absurd and that a satisfactory cinematic form is not achieved. However, watching the first episode of the series “One Hundred Years of Solitude”, it became clear that the creators have managed to convey this magical and surreal feeling to the audience without making it seem ridiculous. The second reason is the inherent complexity of the novel. One Hundred Years of Solitude is a challenging read due to the repeated use of identical names for various characters, as well as the non-linear narrative and frequent breaks in the timeline. These elements can tire the reader. Fortunately, there are no such problems in the series, which has managed to transform the non-linear narrative into a linear one, thus creating a strong connection with the audience. “One Hundred Years of Solitude” is one of the biggest TV and streaming premieres this month.
