In the eternal city of Macondo, seven generations of the Buendia family survive love, oblivion, and the inevitability of their past and destiny. This is Netflix’s most expensive Latin American project to date, featuring Colombian groups and indigenous communities who build the series’ props and scenery. A pure joy to watch this cinematic Colombian marvel. The screen adaptation exceeded my expectations and removed any fears of a potentially disastrous attempt to make a decent film from such a cold "unfilmable" novel. It seems completely authentic and magical to my eyes. Bravo to the Columbia creators and the Columbia team for a very careful, thorough, and sensitive adaptation of one of the most beautiful novels ever written! The filming is excellent and shows the beauty of Colombia very vividly. The costumes, colonial architecture, building interiors and carefully selected musical portraits create an unforgettable atmosphere of Colombian magic in every detail. "One Hundred Years of Solitude" is one of the biggest TV and streaming premieres this month. Check out our December calendar for more details!
