“This decades-spanning love odyssey is as impressive as it is moving, grabbing at the visceral nature of Lorca’s genre-bending work to mould its staggeringly boisterous cinematic equivalent.”— Rafa Sale Ross, Little White Lies
While the Christmas blockbusters roll in, this one is for the cinephiles and not to be missed on a big screen.
A soldier fascinated by a prisoner of the Civil War, the story of a man in pre-dictatorship Spain blackballed from his father’s club, to a present-day man wrestling with his family’s history. La Bola Negra is a celebration of Spanish poet and playwright Federico García Lorca’s enduring legacy, which reimagines his work as a sweeping operatic epic starring an enigmatic young cast and scene-stealing turns from Penelope Cruz and Glenn Close.
