Set 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 groups and indigenous communities building props and sets for the series. Adapting One Hundred Years of Solitude as a film proves to be an extremely difficult task for two main reasons. First, this novel belongs to a specific literary movement pioneered by South American writers, particularly 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 adapting such scenes into film, there is a risk that they may seem absurd and a satisfactory cinematic form may not be achieved. However, watching the first episode of the One Hundred Years of Solitude series, it became clear that the creators 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 different 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 turn the non-linear narrative into a linear one, allowing it to build a strong connection with the audience. One Hundred Years of Solitude is one of the biggest TV and streaming premieres of this month. Check out our December calendar for more!
