La Bola Negra - Free Advance Screening - Mayan Theatre - Mon, Nov 2
Details
Before you RSVP, please:
- Read the description below carefully
- Also read our Advance Screenings page
We have a small number of seats for a free advance screening of La Bola Negra, Spain's submission for this year's Oscar for Best International Film. Active members of the club--those who attend our regular events--will get priority for the seats. When you RSVP, you will be added to the wait list, and I will move people from the wait list to the "going" list by hand. Please RSVP only if you are sure you can attend.
The studio reps have asked for our guest list by Friday, October 30. If you are on the "going" list on Friday afternoon, we will expect you at the movie on Monday evening. Again, please RSVP only if you are sure you can attend.
Arrive by 6:30 for the 7:00 screening. Skip the line if there is one, and check in with the studio reps. They will check your name off their list and direct you to your seat. (They usually seat everyone in the club together, but not always.) Don't be late! If you arrive after 6:30, you could lose your reserved seat.
- Watch the trailer for the film.
- See the film's page on Rotten Tomatoes.
I will not be there, so I do not have anything planned for after the film. If you would like to get together to talk about it, use the comments below to coordinate.

From Cannes-winning directors Javier Calvo and Javier Ambrossi — popularly known as Los Javis — La Bola Negra follows three generations of men across pivotal moments in Spanish history, bound by pain, desire, and love. Carlos (Milo Quifes) longs to belong in a fractured Spain. Sebastián (Guitarricadelafuente) finds connection across enemy lines. And Alberto (Carlos González) uncovers a long-buried family secret — one that finally gives voice to truths the past tried to erase. The film also stars Miguel Bernardeau (Rafael), Goya winner Lola Dueñas (Teresa), Academy Award winner Penélope Cruz (Nené), Golden Globe winner Glenn Close (Isabelle), and Emmy-nominated Julio Torres (Juan Pablo).
