La Bola Negra
Three men, three eras and one hidden connection shape this boldly cinematic Spanish drama about love, secrets and the weight of the past.
Shifting between 1932, 1937 and 2017 with ease, at first these three stories seem completely separate, but gradually connections emerge between the men at their centre. Desire, buried family truths and a forgotten piece of history bind their lives across generations, with an unfinished work of Federico García Lorca hanging over the whole story.
From its virtuoso opening scene, this sweeping epic announces itself as an assured piece of filmmaking. Stunning location work, breathtaking composition and meticulous period detail create a richly textured world where personal and national histories collide. Look out for supporting turns from Glenn Close and a heavily award-tipped Penélope Cruz.
