‘La bola negra’: estética e hipersensible

Javier Ambrossi y Javier Calvo vuelven a demostrar que tienen un brillante sentido del cine, aunque no todo convence en esta historia de amores, miedo, deseo y sufrimiento

"La bola negra": aesthetic allure and hypersensitivity

An uncommonly high level of anticipation surrounds the film "La bola negra," not only among cinephiles but also among everyday individuals seeking my opinion. This heightened anticipation is fueled by the film's prestigious festival awards, the seemingly divine blessing of these accolades, and a striking marketing campaign. As I am prone to eccentricities and biases, I am willing to acknowledge the cinematic excellence of its creators, Javier Ambrossi and Javier Calvo, while the public and professionals should disregard their occasional peer group identity as "Los Javis."

Fascinated by their visual and expressive talent, their ability to craft a sinister yet magical universe, and their power to evoke an atmosphere of mystery and lyricism, I eagerly anticipate watching "La bola negra." Directed by Ambrossi and Calvo, the film stars Guitarricadelafuente, Miguel Bernardeau, Carlos González, Milo Quifes, Lola Dueñas, Penélope Cruz, and Glenn Close. A drama set in Spain and France, the movie is scheduled for release on September 25, 2026, with a runtime of 159 minutes.
