Toreros Die Young. The Corrida in Films by Pedro Almodóvar

Author(s): Magdalena Barbaruk
Subject(s): Anthropology
Published by: Instytut Sztuki Polskiej Akademii Nauk
Keywords: corrida; Leiris; Almodovar

Summary/Abstract: Pedro Almodóvar did not want to make movies about the corrida and recreate the bullfight: in two breakthrough works, Matador (1986) and Talk to Her (2002), he transferred the psychology of the bull-man relation to that of man-man. The author of the article proposed a detailed analysis of both films with the assistance of the corrida envisaged as a key, and presented extensive source material (i. a. about the famous toreador Manolete).
