Netflix shares gorgeous teaser for Cannes favorite La Bola Negra

September 1 finds us reflecting on the upcoming school year, as summer blockbusters give way to prestige films and award contenders. One such film, La Bola Negra, has just been awarded the prestigious Best Director accolade at the Cannes Film Festival, a result of the shared efforts of directors Javier Calvo and Javier Ambrossi, known collectively as "Los Javis."

With Netflix's confidence in the film, it is set for a theatrical release in the United States, and the company has spared no effort to showcase its beauty through a captivating teaser. The teaser does not offer much in the way of a plot synopsis, but it does reveal that "La Bola Negra explores the intertwined lives of three generations of men, all bound together by the universal themes of desire, pain, and love."

The film's lead actor, Guitarricadelafuente, makes his acting debut in this American release, having previously worked with Troye Sivan in a different capacity.

The ensemble cast includes a stellar lineup of talent, with Miguel Bernardeau taking the role opposite Guitarricadelafuente. Carlos González, Milo Quifes, Lola Dueñas, Julio Torres, Penélope Cruz, and Glenn Close round out the impressive roster of actors featured in the film. La Bola Negra is set to make its theatrical debut on October 16 and will likely soon follow onto Netflix for a wider audience.
