Matador (1986)
Country: SP
Technical: col 106m
Director: Pedro Almodóvar
Cast: Assumpta Serna, Antonio Banderas, Nacho Martínez
Synopsis:
A bullfighter who has been gored, a female lawyer with a taste for the kill, and a young man of religious upbringing are three characters around whom the director weaves his traditional concerns of desire, ritual and repression.
Review:
While still in his early phase where 'anything goes', Almodóvar here refines his visual style somewhat, rejoicing in the colourful use of blood, for example, and applying a more luxuriant mise en scène. The film is also quite erotic.
