Synopsis:
Albert Serra's portrait of young Andrés Roca Rey, the undisputed star of contemporary bullfighting, depicts the determination and solitude that distinguish the life of a bullfighter. Through this intimate experience, the director of Pacifiction delivers a spiritual exploration of bullfighting, revealing its ephemeral, anachronistic beauty as much as its primitive brutality. What kind of ideal can lead a man to pursue this dangerous and pointless clash, placing this struggle above all other desires for possession?
Some of the bloody scenes of the bullfighting spectacle, filmed in close-ups that intensify perception, are likely to disturb an uninformed audience.
All screenings are in original version with subtitles.
