When a young torero (Antonio Banderas) confesses to a series of violent crimes he hasn’t committed, secret kinks and desires come to light, sparking dangerous new connections between a bullfighting teacher, a powerful female lawyer, an overprotected actress, and a well-meaning psychiatrist. Love and death shockingly intertwine in Pedro Almodóvar's heady mix of baroque romance, grizzly horror, and pitch black comedy. Inspired by King Vidor’s epic western of sensual passion Duel in the Sun, Matador is among the Spanish director’s sexiest, most provocative films, a striking look at the roots of lust and violence.
