How Netflix Made Magic Look Real in ‘One Hundred Years of Solitude’ The series, which will be released this week, adapts the novel for the screen for the first time.
The author always refused, insisting that his novel, in which the real and fantastical converge, could never be rendered onscreen.
Built by Netflix from the ground up for the first-ever screen adaptation of the novel, the town has real birds nesting in its trees and dogs wandering its narrow streets.
To recreate Macondo, Netflix also relied on museums, documents, researchers and historians.
Because of the care brought to that effort, the details accumulate to make Macondo seem real, said Enríquez, the production designer.
