印象最深的一部，虽然已经不记得情节了，主题是性与死亡 = = 典型的西班牙文艺片
Antonio Banderas早期和阿尔莫多瓦合作的电影都令人惊叹，除了这部，还有Atame也让人难以忘怀

Ex-bullfighter who is getting turned on by killing, lady lawyer with same problem and young man driven insane by over-religious upbringing...
Director: Pedro Almodóvar Writers: Pedro Almodóvar (story), Jesús Ferrero (screenplay)
Stars: Assumpta Serna, Antonio Banderas and Nacho Martínez
Pedro Almodóvar creates a highly sensual, deliriously overripe, and stylistically audacious portrait of love, death, fate, and violence in Matador. From the opening shot of the iconic matador, Diego, deriving sexual gratification from watching a horror exploitation film, Almodóvar establishes the interrelation between sexuality and savagery: the parallel cutting of the bullfighting training with María's precise and ritualistic murder; Angel's validation of his masculinity through Eva's attempted violation; Diego's initial pursuit of María inside a movie theater as the tragic, final sequence from Duel in the Sun unfolds; Diego's repeated playback of the his fateful goring, spotting María on video among the spectators. Almodóvar further uses environmental elements to underscore emotional state, from the idyllic clouds that precipitate Angel's consuming, morbid visions, to the portentous inclement weather that punctuates his encounter with Eva, to the total eclipse that materializes during the final encounter. By articulating profound connection through instinctual aggression, Matador serves as a bold and provocative allegory for the self-destructive cultural legacy of machismo, bravura, and ritualistic violence.
