One Hundred Years of Solitude

Matt Roush says...

They said it could never be done — as a movie. But as a series, Nobel laureate Gabriel Garcia Márquez’s 1967 masterpiece of magical realism finally receives its first filmed adaptation, with the mythical village of Macondo created in Marquez’s homeland of Colombia in a Spanish-language production. The story, laced with fantastical touches, follows multiple generations of the Buendía family, surviving civil war if not the belief that they are condemned by a haunting curse. This sprawling saga unfolds in two parts, with eight episodes comprising the first season, and eight more for a second season to air later.
