'La Bola Negra' (translated as 'The Black Ball'), directed by Javier Ambrossi and Javier Calvo, is on the verge of being acquired by Netflix for around $5 million following its premiere at the Cannes Film Festival, where it received a remarkable 16-minute standing ovation. The film, which marks the duo's debut in the Cannes competition, is a queer epic that spans 85 years of Spanish history and is inspired by an unfinished work by renowned poet Federico García Lorca. It tells the intertwined stories of three gay men across three pivotal years: 1932, 1937, and 2017. The narrative delves into themes of desire, loss, and the generational legacies within the LGBTQ community. The film's title symbolizes social rejection, referencing a black ball used to deny entry to a club in Granada. 'La Bola Negra' features a cast that includes Guitarricadelafuente, Miguel Bernardeau, and Glenn Close, with Penélope Cruz in a cameo. The film is co-produced by prominent Spanish production companies, and Netflix's acquisition follows its successful track record with Spanish-language films, including award-winning titles like 'Roma' and 'Emilia Perez.'
