In the timeless 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 Latin American project to date, with Colombian groups and indigenous communities creating the props and sets for the series. It’s a pure pleasure to watch this cinematic Colombian marvel. The adaptation exceeded my expectations and dispelled any fears about a potentially disastrous attempt to make such a cold "unfilmable" novel. To my eyes, it looks absolutely authentic and magical. Bravo to the Colombian creators and the Colombian crew for a very careful, attentive and delicate adaptation of one of the most beautiful novels ever written! The cinematography is outstanding and very vividly depicts the beauty of Colombia. The costumes, colonial architecture, interior design of the buildings and the carefully chosen musical portrait all together 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!
