Today, the art of killing. If you've fought the bull well, you must kill it well. If not, it's a tragedy for both. The matador doesn't live up to his name, and the bull's bravery is betrayed.

Matador, Pedro Almodóvar (1986)

Carmen Maura in Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown (Pedro Almodóvar, 1988)

Cast: Carmen Maura, Antonio Banderas, Julieta Serrano, María Barranco, Rossy de Palma, Kiti Mánver, Guillermo Montesinas, Chus Lampreave. Screenplay: Pedro Almodóvar. Cinematography: José Luis Alcaine. Set decoration: Félix Murcia. Film editing: José Salcedo. Music: Bernardo Bonezzi. 

Pedro Almodóvar's brightly colored farce Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown put him on the map as an auteur to be reckoned with. It's a grand stew of a film that takes the premise of Jean Cocteau's serious play La Voix Humaine and turns it into a nod to classic Hollywood screwball comedy touched with feminism and the brand of liberated hedonism peculiar to post-Franco Spain. It's also a superb product of the gay sensibility, to the point that it's easy to imagine the roles of Pepa (Carmen Maura), Candela (Maria Barranco), Marisa (Rossy de Palma), and Lucia (Julieta Serrano) played by drag queens. But although it verges on camp -- Pepa, a soap opera actress, dubs Joan Crawford's voice in a Spanish release of Nicholas Ray's perhaps unintentionally camp Western Johnny Guitar (1954) -- it has at its core Almodóvar's genuine affection for his characters. The gloriously sunny decor of the film is the product of set decorators José Salcedo and Félix Murcia, and the costumes are by José María de Cossío.

365 Day Movie Challenge (2019) - #144: Matador (1986) - dir. Pedro Almodóvar

(Warning: some spoilers ahead.)

How do I begin to describe Matador? It’s a psychological profile of how violence influences sexual impulses, a thriller in which cops are stymied by a series of confounding murders and - not unlike the later Tie Me Up! Tie Me Down! - a warped comedy as only Pedro Almodóvar could conceive it, darkly satirizing societal assumptions about the perceived normal functions of heterosexuality.

Working overtime from the start to prove why Matador earned an NC-17 rating, the film opens with an credit sequence in which bullfighting instructor Diego Montes (Nacho Martínez, looking and sounding like a Spanish Jeremy Irons), masturbates while watching a slasher horror film on TV. In his mind, the desire he experiences when engaged in sexual activity and the way he feels when a bull is gored in the ring are inextricably linked. (This is attributed to an injury that ended his career as a matador.) One of Diego’s students, Ángel (Antonio Banderas), wants badly to live up to the ideal of manhood that he sees in his mentor, so when Diego asks Ángel (an admitted virgin) if he is gay during a post-class conversation one afternoon, Ángel freaks out and decides he has to do something to prove his straight masculinity. Later that night, he attempts to rape Diego’s girlfriend, Eva (Eva Cobo), but he cannot; she accidentally cuts her cheek while trying to escape and Ángel faints at the sight of her blood.

In an attempt to redeem himself, Ángel turns himself into the local police station, where a detective (Eusebio Poncela) doesn’t know what to make of the young man’s confession. Even after Eva refuses to press charges, despite her mother Pilar’s (Chus Lampreave) wishes, Ángel claims to be the perpetrator in more crimes: the murders of two women who had been his classmates at the bullfighting academy. This leads to the introduction of another major character: María Cardenal (Assumpta Serna), who inserts herself into the case as Ángel’s lawyer. She plays an integral part in the investigation, as we know from her first appearance in the film when Ángel has a vision of her fatally stabbing a man in flagrante. The movie totally glosses over Ángel’s clairvoyant abilities, but apparently he has had the condition he has had since he was a child... just an oddball detail we have to accept. Almodóvar is clearly more interested in exploring the electricity between Diego and María, who share dangerous passions.

Matador is as off-the-walls weird as I expected, so although the film is not as satisfying overall as Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown and Tie Me Up! Tie Me Down!, Pedro Almodóvar delivered by giving his cast so much compelling material. The heat between Nacho Martínez and Assumpta Serna blazes, while young Antonio Banderas, Eva Cobo, Chus Lampreave, Julieta Serrano (as Banderas’ super-religious mother) and Carmen Maura (a sympathetic police psychiatrist) also excel. There are also cameos by other Almodóvar favorites Verónica Forqué (the star of Kika), trans icon Bibiana Fernández (Law of Desire, High Heels, Kika) and Eva Siva (”Luci” in Pepi, Luci, Bom), plus Almodóvar himself as an agitated fashion designer. I would not suggest Matador as any viewer’s first foray into the director’s filmography, but if you understand his unique sensibilities and wouldn’t mind immersing yourself in the colorful cinematography of Ángel Luis Fernández and lush score by Bernardo Bonezzi, this film comes highly recommended.

Speaking of Almodovar, I did enjoy his COVID quarantine diary. On the BFI website you can find it. It’s in three parts and beside offering brilliant anecdotes about his life, gives us great advises on how to cope with anxiety and depression.   Here is the link to his diary, where we can find beautiful photos too.

Tres Hanley Millman - Road Not Taken

Road Not Taken is the second song in the trilogy of pre-releases from Tres Hanley-Millman’s upcoming album’ Shades of Darkness’ (release early 2019). It follows the single “Fade to Black’ -a tribute to her friend, the late award-winning film composer Bernardo Bonezzi. “Shades of Darkness” is Miss Hanley-Millman’s fourth album, but her first venture as a songwriter. Miss Hanley who is best known for her work on TV in the UK, has her roots in theatre. This inspired her 1st album in 2006, titled Très Broadway. The bulk of her music has been geared to theatre audiences, showcasing her soaring soprano and glitzy coloratura vocals. Most notably in her European dance single “Dance of the Euro Diva” (2007). The international collaboration paired her with Asian rapper Burch and French composer Eric Serra. Mr. Serra originally penned the piece for the Bruce Willis film ‘The Fifth Element’. This time around she promises something very different in the easy listening pop genre. With a focus on her first major outing as a lyricist, she teams up again with arranger-composer Daniel Moctezuma. The team previously wrote the title track on her 2013 theatrical release “A Siren’s Odyssey. “Road Not Taken” drops July 6th.

365 Day Movie Challenge (2019) - #137: Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown (1988) - dir. Pedro Almodóvar

In anticipation of the upcoming film Pain and Glory, I took a leap of faith last month and dove into the filmography of Pedro Almodóvar, whose work I had been intrigued by ever since my high school AP English teacher told the class about his limitless admiration for Talk to Her. I started with the film that I had heard was one of the most accessible introductions to the auteur’s style, Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown. Designed as an homage to the Jean Cocteau play The Human Voice, the film is a madcap confection of occasionally surreal humor that moves at the breakneck pace of Hollywood screwball comedies from the 1930s and 40s and is anchored by the incredible actresses whose characters propel the story forward.

The glowing sun at the center of Women’s solar system is Pepa (Carmen Maura, a new favorite for me), an actress who has had some success doing TV commercials and voiceovers for Spanish-language dubs of American films like Nicholas Ray’s 1954 cult classic Johnny Guitar. Pepa is in a state of barely-controlled panic thanks to a bad breakup: her married lover, Iván (Fernando Guillén), has left her for someone new. Even worse, Iván’s long-suffering wife Lucía (Julieta Serrano) is consumed with exacting revenge on Pepa almost as much as Pepa obsesses over getting Iván back. Lucía tries to convince her grown son, Carlos (Antonio Banderas with a haircut best described as “the Lyle Lovett”), of how much she has been hurt by his father’s philandering, but Carlos soon finds himself unexpectedly crossing paths with Pepa when he and his fiancée Marisa (Rossy de Palma) coincidentally answer an ad that Pepa has placed to sell her apartment. Add to the mix Pepa’s friend Candela (María Barranco), who believes that the police are hunting her down as an unwitting accomplice to a potential terrorist attack – don’t ask – and that, like Pepa’s refrigerated pitcher of barbiturate-laced gazpacho, is a recipe for absurd, funny disaster.

The supporting cast includes more recurring faces from Pedro Almodóvar’s oeuvre, like Kiti Mánver, Chus Lampreave and Loles León, as well as Guillermo Montesinos playing the driver of Madrid’s most enthusiastic form of car service, the Mambo Taxi. Almodóvar’s screenplay and direction, the cinematography by José Luis Alcaine, costumes by José María de Cossío and the score composed by Bernardo Bonezzi harmonize to present a colorful cinematic delight, topped off by a great La Lupe song in the end credits. On to the next Almodóvar experience!
