\n\tThe film is set to debut in theaters on Nov. 6 before hitting on Netflix on Dec. 4. With this fall release date, Netflix is positioning the film as an awards contender. The streamer nabbed \u201cLa Bola Negra\u201d at the Cannes Film Festival, where the movie premiered to rave reviews and sparked a bidding war before tying for the festival\u2019s best director prize. <\/p>\n

\n\tThis marks one of the wider theatrical commitments for Netflix, which has recently been warming to cinemas for certain projects. Later this year, David Fincher\u2019s \u201cThe Adventures of Cliff Booth,\u201d the unofficial title for the sequel to Quentin Tarantino\u2019s \u201cOnce Upon a Time in Hollywood,\u201d will get a two-week exclusive run in Imax before going to Netflix. Then in 2027, director Greta Gerwig\u2019s \u201cNarnia: The Magician\u2019s Nephew\u201d will be the streamer\u2019s first movie to receive a traditional theatrical run. <\/p>\n

\n\tDirected, co-written and produced by the Spanish duo Javier Calvo and Javier Ambrossi (known as Los Javis), \u201cLa Bola Negra\u201d is a queer epic that spans 85 years of Spanish history, from the \u201930s to modern day, and is inspired by an unfinished fragment by Spanish poet and playwright Federico Garc\u00eda Lorca. Told through a triptych, the film chronicles the story of three men whose lives are connected through desire, loss and what one generation leaves to the next. The ensemble includes Spanish musician Guitarricadelafuente in his acting debut,\u00a0\u201cElite\u201d actor Miguel Bernardeau, Carlos Gonz\u00e1lez, Milo Quifes, Lola Duenas, Julio Torres, Pen\u00e9lope Cruz and Glenn Close.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cWhen we began writing \u2018La Bola Negra,\u2019 we wanted to tell a story about freedom, legacy, and the importance of LGBTQ+ visibility. Above all, we wanted to honor the generations of people whose courage and sacrifice made our freedoms possible today,\u201d Calvo and Ambrossi said in a statement. \u201cWe couldn\u2019t imagine a better home than Netflix to bring this story to audiences across the United States. We are deeply grateful and excited that its message will reach millions of viewers and help carry Federico Garc\u00eda Lorca\u2019s legacy to audiences around the world. This is the beginning of an extraordinary new chapter for \u2018La Bola Negra,\u2019 and we can\u2019t wait for audiences to discover it.\u201d<\/p>\n
