Netflix Closes on US Deal for Cannes Competition Film 'The Black Ball,' With Penélope Cruz and Glenn Close Netflix has reportedly acquired La Bola Negra, the Spanish language film that premiered at Cannes to critical acclaim.
The movie, directed by Javier Ambrossi and Javier Calvo, is a daring exploration of lost gay history in Spain.
La Bola Negra's queer themes and historical significance may resonate with some viewers, but they also pose a risk in an era where conservative backlash against LGBTQ+ representation has become increasingly vocal.
