MATADOR (1986)

When a young torero 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.
