This production is psychologically very Spanish. A must for all film buffs. Beautiful camera angles that rivet one to the bitter end. Full of twists and turns that keep the final secret to the end credits. Starring a very young Banderas, surrounded by a cast of beautiful people badly damaged with mental and emotional problems that are truly frightening. A second viewing helps towards comprehending the plot. Anti-bullfighting lobbyists should not be put off - no bulls are killed, only people. < less

Leading Spanish heart-throb stars in this adult drama set in the world of bullfighting. Assumpta Serna is fascinating as the murderous lawyer, Diego Martinez is superb as the crippled ex-bullfighter and Antonio Banderas is absolutely convincing as the repressed, mother fixated trainee bullfighter who is really scared of bulls. Standard Almodovar fare with cinematic invention more than making up for the sub-Neighbours plot. < less
