Ever since I was a kid growing up in Ogden Utah back in the early 80's, I've been fascinated by the Spanish bullfight. I even searched out books on bullfighting at the Weber County library, where I found and read "Death in the Afternoon" by Ernest Hemingway. I'm probably the only kid in Utah to have ever read that book. Now here we are 40 years later and I still enjoy learning about and keeping up with the bullfights.

Trailer for documentary "Gored"



I recently watched this documentary, which is currently available on Netflix, which covers the life, career, and retirement of Antonio Barrera.

It wasn't bad, it wasn't great, but it was definitely worth the time.

It does have an amazing scene of a "portagayola" Antonio performs at his last bullfight which took place in Leon Mexico on December 12th, 2012.

At times it tries to be too "artsy" when I would rather just see some well filmed bullfight action or maybe some rarely seen behind-the-scenes action.

But if you are a student of la corrida like I am then it is a must see since we don't too often get to see bullfight material here in the US.
