Netflix announced this Tuesday that the next December 11 the first part of the series will be released ‘One hundred years of solitude’ adaptation of the work of Nobel Prize winner Gabriel García Márquez.
The small screen version of one of the masterpieces of Latin American and universal literature will address, as Netflix points out in its press release, “the relentless passage of one hundred years of history, in which Colonel Aureliano Buendía is seen facing his destiny at the same time as it recounts the exodus that Úrsula and José Arcadio undertake with the fear of the curse on their lineage, and that will lead them to found Macondo.”
The series will consist of two parts of eight episodes each and is directed by Laura Mora and Álex García López. The series was filmed entirely in Colombia, with the support of the Nobel family.
“As a filmmaker, and as a Colombian, it has been an honor and a huge challenge to work on such a complex and that carries as much responsibility as ‘One Hundred Years of Solitude’“, always striving to understand the difference between literary and audiovisual language and to be able to construct images that contain the beauty, poetry and depth of a work that has impacted the entire world,” said Laura Mora.
