Afternoons of Solitude

“This bullfighting movie is obliquely aligned with the turning of one season, the bull and the idea of death bringing renewal?”

“Featured in The Wonderlyst #117 I haven’t been able to bring myself to watch Afternoons of Solitude, but I've watched this clip of Andrés Roca Rey getting ready for a corrida de toros over and over.”

“I never realized how disgustingly violent bull fighting is. How uncanny that man is trying to over power this beast by diminishing the beasts power first. Does it really count if man has to take away power before fighting, before proving that man is the real beast. Shouldn’t the fight be completely raw and untouched?”
