Gabo & Cinema

An Acclaimed Colombian Author and his Relationship to the Cinema

It is said that Nobel Prize winner Gabriel Garcia Marquez never allowed for a film adaptation of his singular masterpiece One Hundred Years of Solitude, arguably the most influential novel in any language of the second half of the twentieth century, to be produced. However, the prolific Colombian writer had strong ties to the movies.

GABO & CINEMA is a commendable and well documented contribution to the general study of Gabriel Garcia Marquez's cultural production. In the voice of his friends and accomplices, the documentary takes us beyond his literary figure and immerses us in his cinematic one.

Official Selection at the Havana Film Festival.
