Screening of 'La Bola Negra', a film by Javier Calvo and Javier Ambrossi inspired by Federico García Lorca, starring Penélope Cruz and Glenn Close, in Spanish with English subtitles.
La Bola Negra is coming to Gloucester Guildhall for three screenings this November. It's a Spanish-language film with English subtitles, directed by Javier Calvo and Javier Ambrossi, and it runs for 159 minutes. The story draws on the legacy of the poet and playwright Federico García Lorca, following three gay men whose lives are bound together through desire, pain and inheritance across three different eras: 1932, 1937 and 2017. Rich with Lorca's poetry, it works as both a tender love story and a sweeping study of memory, inheritance and queer history.
On screen, it brings together two Oscar winners: Penélope Cruz, known for Volver, and Glenn Close, of The Wife. The film has been described as an Oscars favourite, currently the second favourite for Best Picture. It's recommended for ages 15 and above.
