Afternoons of Solitude (2025)
Details
Dir. Albert Serra | Spain (In Spanish with English subtitles) | 2025 | 125 min. | NR | DCP
The new film from the visionary director of PACIFICTION, Albert Serra’s AFTERNOONS OF SOLITUDE is a spellbinding documentary that turns its gaze on the ceremonial splendor and devastating brutality of bullfighting in Spain. With quiet intensity, Serra follows famed matador Andrés Roca Rey — from the solitude of his hotel room and the meticulousness of his preparations to the charged spectacle of the arena. Through his immersive and unhurried lens, Serra reveals Rey’s profound physical, spiritual and aesthetic commitment to a centuries-old ritual — one that demands he take part in a timeless duel between man and beast.
Programmers Note: This film contains bullfighting. The viewer is cautioned to proceed accordingly.
