😷 Had the joy of spending the last week of the year mostly sick in bed watching movies. I’m still recovering and dealing with a terrible cough, but hey… Happy New Year!

We finished watching Netflix’s adaptation of García Márquez’ One Hundred Years of Solitude (Cien Años de Soledad) last night.

While watching I often asked myself “how will they achieve this or that? It simply won’t translate!” only to be blown away a couple of minutes later.

I grew up hearing my uncle repeat over and over that every Colombian needs to read the book once a year so I had to read it a couple of times. I would say even the literary purists need to watch this. Faithful adaptation and amazing production. It is undoubtedly the most colorful history lesson to the country and a visual masterpiece in magical realism.
