‘LA BOLA NEGRA’ réalisé par Javier Calvo et Javier Ambrossi sortira le 16 décembre en France ! « Espagne 1932, 1937, 2017. Trois hommes, trois époques. Un même fil invisible de désir, de douleur et d'héritage. LA BOLA NEGRA traverse le temps pour révéler ce qui les unit. »

#Cannes2026 (S.O.) "La bola negra", ambiciosa, rotunda y conmovedora expandiendo y conectando el universo de Lorca con tres historias en la España del siglo XX marcadas por el dolor y el silencio. Una puesta en escena magistral, exquisita y apabullante que bordea la obra maestra.

I’m in absolute awe of THE BLACK BALL, a sprawling epic from Javier Calvo and Javier Ambrossi tracing the gay experience from an era of silence, oppression, and persecution to the present. With superb direction, breathtaking cinematography, and ambitious editing that crosscuts three generations of gay men in 1932, 1937, and 2017, it’s poetic storytelling on a vast generational canvas spanning times of peace and war, with a allegorical play inside the film’s narrative, and making the past feel contemporary. Penélope Cruz and Glenn Close appear in brief but significant roles. Emotionally rich and monumental in scope, this is the kind of film that feels like a very special achievement as you’re watching it unfold right before your very eyes.

THE BLACK BALL is my favorite competition film at Cannes this year. A big gay epic staged with heaps of thought and style. Such a refreshing jolt of energy. Los Javis are the real deal. hollywoodreporter.com/movies…

Saw THE BLACK BALL this morning and it absolutely broke me. The Javis connect three narratives of gay men across generations, learning to love without fear, through repression, rejection, and understanding. Epic, gorgeous, hot, and huge hearted. Maybe my fave of #cannes

Los Javis take a minute to thank the press for being so nice about LA BOLA NEGRA: “It means the world.” #cannes

Through stories of gay romance, LA BOLA NEGRA depicts how the shame, guilt and secrets of the past echo through history. This is big, bold cinema: lyrical, intimate and expansive, and it’s hard not to be swept away by it all, the ending(s) gave me goosebumps. Plus Penélope Cruz and Glenn Close turn up in two small but memorable parts, and we have to love directors Javier Calvo and Javier Ambrossi for that on top of everything else. Brilliant! #Cannes2026

La Bola Negra - Huzzah! Gay cinema reigns! Monumental, majestic, epically cinematic Spanish filmmaking spanning 3 timelines following 3 gay men throughout Spanish history. An anthem against fascism! Especially vivid, grand storytelling with an unforgettable score. #Cannes2026

Pero qué maravilla es está? #Cannes2026 #LosJavis #LaBolaNegra

Los Javis woohoo! #Cannes2026

“We wanted to make a big, bold queer movie… This is an adventure movie, a war movie, a big movie with a budget that is the biggest you can get in Spain, and and it's directed by two gay men that tonight have this award!” — Los Javis on LA BOLA NEGRA

Nouvel extrait de ‘LA BOLA NEGRA’ réalisé par Javier Calvo et Javier Ambrossi qui a reçu une standing ovation de 20 minutes au Festival de Cannes, l’une des plus longues de l’histoire du festival. Le film explore l’homosexualité à travers trois époques et trois hommes en Espagne (1933, 1937, 2017) reliés par un même fil invisible de désir, de douleur et d’héritage.

In a Cannes competition lineup where even the best-received films feel a little too familiar, THE BLACK BALL stands out all the more for its nerve and ambition. Had it arrived a few days ago, people wouldn’t be calling this Cannes so soft

Cannes competition gets a shot of adrenaline from THE BLACK BALL, a sweeping, exciting gay triptych from Los Javis. Love! War! Cameos from Penelope Cruz and Glenn Close! This is a surefire, across-the-board Oscar contender so I’d expect a major pickup soon.
