19001 min4.1 / 10

An early documentary record of a bullfight, capturing the raw spectacle and violence of the sport with detached observation.

With a crowded arena in the background, a stationary camera records a bull charging a picador astride his horse. An attendant on foot throws stones at the rump of the horse to get it to move. Various toreadors run past the bull to try to get him to charge or at least run about.
