MATADOR [FILM DIRECTED BY P. ALMODÓVAR]
1993
Matador is double-focused: while it looks backwards for historical and ideological rationales of its sexual and political traumas, it looks forward to a society unafraid to speak the names of its multifarious desires. In releasing and celebrating the popular, Almodovar achieves through Hollywood Melodrama the reinstatement of traditions ignored, condemned or silenced during the Franco years.
