Matador Standard Edition (UK Import) [4K Ultra HD + Blu-ray]

Matador Standard Edition 4K Ultra HD + Blu-ray presents Pedro Almodóvar’s 1986 Spanish thriller in a UK import region free release from Radiance. Newly restored in 4K and approved by Almodóvar, the film blends dark comedy, baroque melodrama and psychological horror into one of the director’s most provocative early works.

When a young torero confesses to violent crimes he did not commit, buried desires and dangerous obsessions begin to surface around him. A bullfighting teacher, a powerful lawyer, an actress and a psychiatrist are drawn into a strange web where attraction, death and performance become impossible to separate.

Inspired in part by King Vidor’s Duel in the Sun, Matador is a bold and confrontational work from Almodóvar’s 1980s period, pushing his fascination with passion, identity and transgression into thriller territory. This Standard Edition UK release includes the feature on 4K UHD and Blu-ray, original mono audio, new interview, archival television episode, improved subtitle translation and newly commissioned sleeve artwork.
