“Many years later, as he faced the firing squad, Colonel Aureliano Buendía was to remember that distant afternoon when his father took him to discover ice.”

That’s the opening line of Nobel Prize–winning author Gabriel García Márquez’s best-selling magical realist novel One Hundred Years of Solitude, and it’s echoed in the teaser above, a first look at the series adaptation streaming on Netflix. The words are spoken generations later, read aloud from the diary of Melquiades (Moreno Borja).

The clips that follow take you to the mythical town of Macondo with the Buendía family, previewing breathtaking scenes as José Arcadio Buendía (Marco González) and a young Úrsula Iguarán (Susana Morales) search for happiness.

Claudio Cataño, who felt an “enormous responsibility” in playing Colonel Aureliano, tells Tudum it was “an honor and a risk” to take on the role. He adds, “Macondo and its host of characters,...

Since its publication in 1967, One Hundred Years of Solitude has been hailed as a classic of magical realism literature and one of the best sweeping family epics of the 20th century. Decades later, Netflix has brought the seminal novel by Gabriel García Márquez to life as a TV show with the care and attention to detail with which José Arcadio Buendía would sit at his alchemy table or Aureliano Buendía at the table making his golden fish. Though the first eight episodes only cover half of Márquez's book, it's clear that this was an adaptation worth waiting for.

In the town of Macondo, several generations of the Buendía family grapple with love, war, madness, and an inescapable curse that haunts their lineage. As they navigate the trials of fate, the epic tale of magical realism unfolds, exploring the intersection of history, myth, and human experience.

Nobel laureate Gabriel García Márquez’s masterpiece “One Hundred Years of Solitude” — an elliptical epic of fate, family, politics and madness in Macondo, a fictional town that represents the wider, tragic history of Colombia and Latin America as a whole — has been made into a Netflix series.

That’s Netflix; the streaming service better known for “Squid Game,” “Tiger King” and the more overpriced works of Ryan Murphy and Shonda Rhimes.

Bad idea, right? Well, to further quote that other prizeworthy wordsmith Olivia Rodrigo, “f—k it, it’s fine.”

More than fine, actually. The first season of this two-part, Spanish-language production can come across at times like a highbrow telenovela. But the sweeping pageant does an impressive job of streamlining García Márquez’s idiosyncratic, discursive novel into an expeditious but still thoughtful, contemplative and, yes, realistically magical eight hours.

The author’s sadness and humor come across intact; the...

Netflixs 100 Years of Solitude adaptation is a deeply ambitious project, and there has been a lot of hesitation around the streamer's ability to bring the magical realism classic to life on the screen. However, recently released images, which show the cast and set of the TV series, seem to bode very well for the limited series.

The photos, published by Deadline, grant fans a first look into the live-action world of Macondo, the fictional town in Colombia where the story transpires. The images show the town being flooded, and people and animals wading through the water, as well as two of the characters meticulously engaged in an alchemical endeavor. From the set design, to the costuming, the previews for the Dynamo-produced series demonstrate a great attention to detail, which elicits much of the charm of the novel.

Madrid — Spain’s Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences announced today the nominees for the 33rdedition of the Goya Awards, to be held at the Palacio de Congresos y Exposiciones in Sevilla on Feb. 2, 2019.

Leading the pack with 13 nominations is Rodrigo Sorogoyen’s ultra-current political thriller “The Realm,” which impressed in San Sebastian’s main competition. The film is produced by Spain’s Tornasol and Atresmedia Cine and co-produced by Le Pacte and Mondex Cie out of France.

Spain’s foreign-language Oscar submission “Champions” scored an impressive 11 nominations of its own. The heartwarming dramedy about a special needs basketball team was a breakout hit at the Spanish box office this year, grossing €18.5 million ($21.4 million Usd) for Universal Pictures Intl. Spain.

Perhaps it’s ultimately a good thing that the “coming out as gay in a repressive culture” subgenre has, by 2018, become familiar enough to have evolved its own clichés. It is however a bit unfortunate that Arantxa Echevarría’s well-meant and sincere “Carmen and Lola,” which charts the burgeoning love affair between two young women in a Madrid Roma community, has to embrace so many of them.

While the overarching narrative is now familiar to the point of blandness, what differentiation Echevarría does achieve is largely down to the insights, observed by Pilar Sanchez Diaz’s handheld camerawork, into the rites and rituals of Spanish Roma culture. There is little mixing with the mainstream, and even those kids who go to school among the “Whiteys” (as it is translated) — meaning anyone from outside this rigorously codified and hierarchical community — are in a small minority.
