García Márquez’s relations with the cinema find their first expression in a series of film reviews that the author penned for the Colombian daily El Espectador, in the mid-nineteen fifties. There, he shows a particular predilection for Italian Neo-realism, for certain contemporary Italian films about women, and for the Bardem- Berlanga classic, ¡Bienvenido, Mr Marshall! Analysis of selected film reviews demonstrates surprisingly close connections with creative works by García Márquez, both at the level of narrative and in key areas of ideology and aesthetics.
