Matador

Directed by Pedro Almodóvar

Diego is a matador whose obsessive voyeurism knows no bounds. When one of his bullfighting students confesses to the murders committed by Diego, the lawyer who comes into their lives brings her own death-drive in to the mix… The result is a playful engagement with Spanish iconography realised with supreme visual flair, and featuring a scene-stealing star turn from Almodóvar himself.
