"I just want to live." Netflix has revealed their first official teaser trailer for the highly acclaimed film La Bola Negra, one of the biggest surprise hits from the 2026 Cannes Film Festival. This is opening in Spain later this month and hits US theaters starting in November – Netflix is kicking off their marketing now with this teaser & posters below before it plays at the Toronto Film Festival next in a few weeks. The title La Bola Negra means The Black Ball in English, a reference to an actual event and story that the film is inspired by (and tells within the story in the film as well). The plot is set across the years 1932, 1937 and 2017 in Spain, exploring the inter-connected lives of three gay men throughout Spanish history. It also explores what it means to be gay throughout different eras, focusing on "three existences" that are connected with themes of sexuality, desire, pain, and inheritance. Starring Guitarricadelafuente as Sebastián, Carlos González as Alberto, Miguel Bernardeau as Rafael, Milo Quifes, Lola Dueñas, plus appearances by Penélope Cruz and Glenn Close (who are both fabulous in the film). This powerful queer drama is deeply connected to the Spanish Civil War and the pain the nation still feels dealing with the horrible things that happened during that time. They're positioning the movie to be a big theatrical hit – enjoy the stunning footage below. // Continue Reading ›
