I just watched the first episode of One Hundred Years of Solitude on Netflix.
I don’t tknow what it would be like to watch this without having read (and taught) the book many times. But having read the book many times, I can say, this is (so far) absolutely fantastic, as enjoyable a viewing experience as any I’ve had.
On my first reading of the novel, I thought to myself that it would be impossible to make movie of it. But the long form Netflix allows changes that.
If you’ve not read the book, go to the library, get a copy, and read it just so you can watch the first episode of this terrific film.
