Sand and Blood
Bullfighting, music, medicine, change, and homoerotic possibilities mix in this study of friendship. Francisco is a bullfighter on his way up, so focused even sex doesn't hold his interest. After a minor road accident, he meets a doctor, Manuel, who attends a bullfight, leaving early, retching. His wife, who is also his partner in a string quartet, worries about him: Manuel has a history of breakdown. Manuel, for his part, hates bullfighting and the memories it brings of Franco's Spain. His harsh views undermine Francisco's focus. He accompanies the young fighter to Spain for an important corrida. Will Francisco succeed? And what becomes of this friendship?

Reviews
If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.
Great movie! If you want to be entertained and have a few good laughs, see this movie. The music is also very good,
It is both painfully honest and laugh-out-loud funny at the same time.
All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.
