@metaplexmovies and still succeeds now under a different name*

[elle @cinearwen]

@metaplexmovies the film had no need to "tease out the nuances" you believe to exist. the facist regime succeeded until franco's death

[elle @cinearwen]

@metaplexmovies how did you place "through force" and "nevertheless upholding facism" within the same sentence

funny how americans expect the rest of the world to know every bit of their history and understand their historical movies perfectly and yet a spanish movie comes out there and no one cares to look for some historical context

@cinevoidz the circulating critique of debate being that la bola negra explained too much yet here we are

[elle @cinearwen]

@cinevoidz the reason he did not deliver the letters.. tied his guilt and morals toward the war into a little bow if it was not already obvious

between this and recent discourse on miasma being "too masturbatory," i think an odd resistant to evolution aftertaste is left in these critic's mouths whenever a film depicting queer experiences not just takes itself seriously, but allows itself to take up space to be grand

[The New Yorker @NewYorker]

“La Bola Negra,” a new film by Javier Ambrossi and Javier Calvo, dramatizes gay repression and liberation across three interconnected stories. At first, the year is 1937 and viewers are thrust deep into the Spanish Civil War, where a Nationalist soldier and a wounded Republican freedom fighter exchange furtive glances. By the end, it’s 2017, and a Madrid-based historian need only look to Grindr to satisfy an urge. The movie “wants to be a sweeping historical epic of gay longing—a film about what it means to be a man who desires other men in times of war and peace,” Justin Chang writes. Instead, the directors have produced “a film that insists, arrogantly and aggressively, on its own monumentality”. Even compelling performances from Glenn Close, Penélope Cruz, and Lola Dueñas fail to rescue the extravagantly overwrought film. Read Chang's full review: https://t.co/1dxljhnEap
