Matador

Diego Montes is a retired bullfighter recycled into a post-coitum killer. His nostalgia for the bullfighting ring drove him mad and he began to murder his lovers just after the climax, as it was the only pleasure that calmed his anxiety.

"I remember when I worked at my Manhattan Beach video store, Video Archives, and talked to the other employees about the types of movies I wanted to make, and the things I wanted to do inside of those movies. And I would use the example of the opening of Almodóvar’s Matador [...] the fearlessness demonstrated by Pedro Almodóvar led by example. As I watched my heroes, the American film mavericks of the seventies, knuckle under to a new way to do business just to stay employed, Pedro’s fearlessness made a mockery of their calculated compromises. My dreams of movies always included a comic reaction to unpleasantness. Similar to the connection that Almodóvar’s films made between the unpleasant and the sensual." (Quentin Tarantino, Cinema Speculation)
