La Bola Negra – In 35mm & Digital

The sweeping historical drama La Bola Negra screens in dreamy 35mm and pristine digital from Thursday 22 October at the Ritz.

Winner of the Best Director award at Cannes and the prestigious TIFF People's Choice Award, La Bola Negra is an ambitious homage to Federico García Lorca's unfinished play of the same name, set across three timelines — Republican Spain in 1932, the Civil War in 1937, and contemporary Spain in 2017.

Filled with extraordinary performances and an ensemble cast featuring Penelope Cruz, Glenn Close and Julio Torres in supporting roles, this delicate and emotionally resonant drama presents a dialogue between past and present about the traces of queer life set against a backdrop of national and personal turmoil.

Screening in digital from Thursday 15 October, and in 35mm from Thursday 22 October.
