Film Festival 2025
In one of Pedro Almodóvar's earliest provocations, a former bullfighter (Nacho Martínez) and his pupil (Antonio Banderas) become entangled in a psychosexual game of perversion, false confessions, and murder. Notable for being one of the director's earliest collaborations with Banderas, Matador remains a subversive, essential erotic thriller.
