Diego is an ex-champion matador who now runs a bullfighting school. Still looking for a kick, he watches sadistic videos for sexual pleasure. Maria is a lawyer and Diego’s number one fan—she also likes to kill men with a hairpin at the point of orgasm. The pair are destined to meet.

Sex, murder, telepathy—oh my! One of the most twisted of Pedro Almodóvar’s psychosexual soap operas, Matador features some of the Spanish master’s earliest flirtations with explicit horror imagery, as well as his first significant role for regular star Antonio Banderas. Prepare for red hot danger.
