Adapting One Hundred Years of Solitude for film seems an incredibly difficult task for two main reasons
Synopsis
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, and it involves Colombian groups and indigenous communities constructing the series’ props and sets.
Sometimes this fusion is so intense that it seems impossible to separate the two
First, this novel belongs to a specific literary movement pioneered by South American writers, especially Gabriel García Márquez, where the story is told by combining reality and fantasy. Naturally, translating such scenes into film runs the risk of appearing absurd and not achieving a satisfactory cinematic form.
The second reason is the inherent complexity of the novel
However, after watching the first episode of the series “One Hundred Years of Solitude”, it became clear that the creators managed to convey this magical and surreal feeling to the audience, without it seeming funny. One Hundred Years of Solitude is a difficult read due to the constant use of identical names for different characters, as well as the nonlinear narrative and frequent timeline disruptions.
These elements can exhaust the reader
Fortunately, such problems do not exist in the series, which successfully transformed the nonlinear narrative into a linear one, allowing for a strong connection with the audience. One Hundred Years of Solitude; is one of the biggest TV and streaming premieres this month.
