Albert Serra, Spain, France, Portugal
Winner of the Golden Shell at the San Sebastián Film Fest, Afternoons of Solitude, the Spanish director’s striking bullfighting documentary, shows the beauty as well as barbarism of the long-held folkloric tradition.
Grade: A- (**** out of *****)
Serra had previously made Pacifiction (2022), which attracted critical attention and acclaim.
His latest (and best) feature refines his inimitable personal style of fusing visual and aural elements, with no commentary or narration.
