WHAT THE CRITICS ARE SAYING
“An absolute masterpiece.” — The Guardian
“Visually riveting and profoundly moving.” — The Hollywood Reporter
“A stunning achievement in modern cinema.” — Variety
“A cinematic epic that stays with you forever.” — Deadline
“The most essential film of the year.” — The People’s Movies
About the film: In 1936, Federico García Lorca, one of Spain’s most celebrated poets and playwrights (Blood Wedding), began writing a play about a young man shunned by society for being gay. He was killed early in the Spanish Civil War before he could finish it, and only four pages survive. Its title was La bola negra, or “the black ball,” a nod to the secret vote used to reject someone from a private club.
Presented in partnership with Chiasson and Nadeau Families.
