Matador HD New Master

[Machine Translation] Almodovar's first film in Japan, an erotic monstrosity. The extreme sensuality of perverted men and women who feel ecstasy from murder. Three of Pedro Almodovar's early works are released at once. This is the first BD release with a new HD master and a new DVD release. This is Almodovar's first film to be released in Japan. Although the number of characters who are clearly anarchic is drastically reduced, the film beautifully depicts the deepest desires and destructions of human beings while taking on the appearance of a suspense film, including the depiction of cruelty. --Angel, a young man, was trained as a bullfighter by Montes, a former top matador, but Montes has a propensity for ecstasy through murder. Suspected of homosexuality due to his lack of experience with women, Angel attempts to humiliate Montes' lover, Eva, but fails. Angel turns himself in to the police, where he meets Maria, a beautiful and talented lawyer. Maria, like Montes, has a proclivity for the ecstasy of murder. Montes and Maria, who share the same proclivities, seek the ultimate sensuality, a fusion of sex and murder. Angel and Eva are at each other's mercy, but what will they do?

*Rated 18-and-over.
