How La bola negra Performed
La bola negra's Blurbs
About me:
Three young men in Spain, in 1932, 1937 and 2017, linked by the work of poet Federico García Lorca. Javier Calvo and Javier Ambrossi direct this drama inspired by an unfinished Lorca play, with Penélope Cruz and Glenn Close in the cast. It premiered in competition at Cannes. Three timelines, one poet, a lot of feeling.
Who I'd like to meet:
Anyone who has read Lorca and wanted more.
