   Let me first say that I have not seen the film (it is not shown in
the suburbs and Chicago is 35 miles away).  In the ads for the film, they
claim something like it is based on some parts of the "100 years of
Solitude."  Then I read Gene Siskel's review of the film in the Chicago
Sun-Times.  He gave a short account of the plot that sounded familiar.
I realized that I had read the story, but it wasn't 100 Years of
Solitude.  It was another book by the same author called "Erendira and
her Cruel Grandmother."  (It could have been some other word rather
than Cruel).  If so, it is a rip-off to use a famous book to attract
people to a movie that has nothing to do with that book.
