For those of you who have not heard about La Bola Negra, it is a story of...
gay men in three different phases of Spanish history in the early 30s, the mid 30s and the 2010s and the ways in which their lives intersect in surprising ways through the Spanish Civil War and a number of other events.
There's a lot of
kind of literary history baked into it there's a lot of social history baked into the film it is a big bold chest out audacious piece of filmmaking I think very flawed but very fun to watch it'll be a rich conversation I think on the show as well I really look forward to you seeing because there's a lot about it that I really admired
And it 100% is a big deal.
And not surprising and probably very smart for Netflix to pick it up, being the worldwide distributor that it is, so that people around the world can enjoy the film.
The thing about it is...
it is so different from every other movie they played at the festival, which was a fairly restrained series of chamber pieces.
And one of the reasons why it popped so much for me was because it was a breath of fresh air.
It was a big sweeping war film.
And so, you know, I wrote in the newsletter that it reminded me of Atonement, you know, that it had that kind of like the character drama, but then against this huge canvas of battle and history and struggle.
And that's a...
That's a timeless thing in the Oscar race.
It'll be interesting to talk about as we go along.
Fatherland is the opposite.
Fatherland is a post-war film and is a very restrained, very meditative work about what's in our past and what's unspoken.
And also a very beautiful movie in a lot of ways, but literally almost the emotional opposite of what La Bola Negra is doing.
So it's funny to pair them up.
So let's talk about some winners and some losers from the festival writ large.
Yeah.
