In the 1940s, Manuel Rodríguez Sánchez (Adrien Brody), known to the world as Manolete, owned the Spanish bullring. This searing biopic follows his notorious affair with movie siren Lupe Sino (Penélope Cruz) at the height of his fame, and his death in the ring at age 30. Juan Echanove, Ann Mitchell and Rubén Ochandiano co-star in award-winning screenwriter Menno Meyjes’s directorial debut.
Not bad just really, really dull. I bet his life was way more interesting than his love life and that's what they should've gone for. Of course, i've watched the botched cut, I don't know how does the original cut works.
