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 project in Latin America to date, with the participation of Colombian groups and indigenous communities constructing the series’ props and sets. A true joy to watch this cinematic Colombian marvel. The screen adaptation exceeded my expectations and removed any fears about the potentially disastrous attempt to create a decent film from such a cold "unfilmable" novel. To my eyes, it looks completely authentic and magical. Bravo to the Colombian creators and the Colombian crew for a very attentive, meticulous, and subtle adaptation of one of the most beautiful novels ever written! The cinematography is excellent and very vividly reveals the beauty of Colombia. Costumes, colonial architecture, interior design of buildings and a carefully selected musical portrait – an unforgettable atmosphere of Colombian magic in every detail.. "One Hundred Years of Solitude" is one of the biggest TV and broadcast premieres this month. Find more information in our December calendar!
