Miguel Bernardeau discusses political polarization and ‘La bola negra’

Spanish actor Miguel Bernardeau has commented on the social and political polarization in Spain during a promotional tour for the film ‘La bola negra’. In an interview, Bernardeau used the film's metaphor of ‘throwing a black ball’—a gesture of rejection—to express his disapproval of figures who polarize public opinion and prevent dialogue, specifically mentioning ultra-right agitator Vito Quiles.

‘La bola negra’, directed by Javier Calvo and Javier Ambrossi and based on an unfinished work by Federico García Lorca, is set to represent Spain at the Oscars. The film's promotion has also highlighted the career of Penélope Cruz, who stars in the production. Cruz has recently been in the spotlight for her work and her long-standing friendship with actress Salma Hayek, sharing anecdotes about their mutual support during their rise in Hollywood.
