A great adaptation of this most enduring masterpiece. The producers and director have managed to capture the feel and rhythm of the novel. As a long time admirer of Garcia Marquez’s work I am impressed with what they have achieved.
It would have been easy to dilute and bastardize a story as rich, compelling and intricate as this; but they have managed to give it what it deserves and requires as an adaptation for the screen: the blend of drama, humor, sex and the unexpected get mixed in a great balance of pitch perfect story telling.
I dare say the author would be pleased.
