Plot:	Ex-bullfighter Diego instructs his students in "the art of the kill", and constantly harasses trainee bullfighter Angel about his suspected homosexuality. To prove his masculinity, Angel confesses to murders he did not commit, and the plot thickens...
Overview:	At his school in Madrid, ex-bullfighter Diego Montes (Nacho Martinez) instructs his students in the corrida, "the art of the kill". Trainee bullfighter Angel (Antonio Banderas), sexually repressed and mother-fixated, is taunted about his suspected homosexuality by Diego. To prove his masculinity, Angel attempts to assault Diego's girlfriend. Failing in his attempt and consumed by guilt, he confesses to murders he did not commit--the victims are killed with bullfighting instruments at the moment of sexual climax. Angel is defended by lawyer Maria Cardenal (Assumpta Serna), the real killer, who is obsessed with Diego and uses Angel to draw the maestro Matador into one last confrontation. "Matador" is a darkly comic and seductive celebration of Spanish desire, repression, and bullfighting, inspired by the Hollywood melodrama "Duel In The Sun".
