"The Timeless Relevance of a Visionary Writer's Disturbing Sci-Fi Masterpiece"

The 1979 film "The Year of the Plague" directed by Felipe Cazals and co-written by Gabriel García Márquez, offers a disturbingly prophetic portrayal of a respiratory disease outbreak in a modern developing nation. The film's incisive social commentary reflects on class disparities, distrust of institutions, and government cover-ups, drawing parallels to real-world atrocities.

Despite its metaphysical elements, the film's observations on culture wars and their consequences remain relevant today.
