Penélope Cruz’s role in La Bola Negra grew into a pair of musical performances after directors Javier Calvo and Javier Ambrossi approached her about joining the film. In a new interview, Cruz describes several months of singing and choreography preparation for Nené Romero, a cabaret performer in the film’s 1937

storyline. Nené entertains soldiers during the Spanish Civil War while concealing her own politics. The filmmakers built the character from influences spanning several decades rather than a single historical model. Cruz describes the performances as part of the character’s capacity to offer hope to people who recognise

something of themselves in her. Read the official source. Image credit: Carla Oset / Netflix.
