‘La Plaza de Toros, El arte de la Corrida’ is documentary film by debut director Edward Sánchez about Bullfighting in Spain.
The film explores Bullfighting as an art form within sport and doesn’t show Bullfighting as something negative, but describes the culture and story behind this traditional event in Spain and many other cultures.
Ernest Hemmingway once said:
“Bullfighting is the only art in which the artist is in danger of death, and in which the degree of brilliance in the performance, is left to the fighters honour.”
Great images and scenes with original comments from real “Matadors”.

didnt think that anything could persuade me to attend a bullfight but this film just did ! Some of the effects are amazing – particularly loved towards the end with the slo-mo of the fighter !! looking forward to more interesting documentaries.
