The Black Bullet" is a future Oscar favorite, eerily similar to the late Nikita Mikhalkov. Javier Ambrosi and Javier Calvo's epic film has already won the director's award at Cannes and the audience award at the Toronto film festival. The latter prize was awarded at different times to the films 12 Years a Slave, Green Book and Newland - all of which later won the Oscar for Best Picture. Looks like Odyssey has some serious competition. "The Black Ball" is, to some extent, an adaptation of the play of the same name by Federico García Lorca, the great Spanish poet and playwright of the early 20th century. But only to a certain extent. First, the play was lost, only four pages survived, and Calvo and Ambrosi had to write the rest themselves. Second, this is just one plot; Another takes place during the Civil War, a third in 2017, and the last two tell the story of the fate of a missing play. "Blackball" is a film about queer people, homophobia and war, which means, by all measures, a very relevant film. However, Anton Dolin found that the authors, by and large, have nothing to say about all these subjects except reality. Open with VPN | No VPN.
