Throughout his life, Gabriel Garcia Marquez resisted a screen adaptation of his best-selling novel One Hundred Years Of Solitude. His seminal masterpiece, which has sold over 50 million copies worldwide, was simply too complex to be filmed, the writer affectionately known as Gabo said.
After his death in 2014, however, the streaming service Netflix was able to convince Garcia Marquez’s children and acquire the film rights. The first half of the 16-part mini series was released on Dec 11, and reviews have been mostly positive.
