Screening of the Spanish drama by Javier Calvo and Javier Ambrossi, set in 1930s Spain, with Guitarricadelafuente, Penélope Cruz, Glenn Close and others.
La Bola Negra comes to The Odyssey Cinema on Monday 30 November, starting at 19:00. It's a Spanish drama directed by Javier Calvo and Javier Ambrossi, who built the film around an unfinished play by Federico García Lorca. The story runs on two threads: in 2017, a historian named Alberto receives a sudden inheritance that includes the writer's lost pages; in 1937, a young man called Sebastián becomes enmeshed in the Spanish Civil War and discovers a new world of feeling. In both timelines, forbidden love grows and asserts itself against historical oblivion.
The cast is a big one, with Penélope Cruz, Glenn Close, Lola Dueñas, Miguel Bernardeau, Guitarricadelafuente and Milo Quifes. Calvo and Ambrossi shared the Best Director award at Cannes for the film, which runs 153 minutes and is shown with subtitles.
