Albert Serra's 'Tardes de Soledad' Set for Theatrical Release After Acclaimed Festival Debut

The documentary explores themes of solitude and mortality through an intimate portrayal of torero Andres Roca Rey and the ritualistic nature of bullfighting.

'Tardes de Soledad,' directed by Albert Serra, will release in theaters on March 26, 2025, following critical acclaim at the San Sebastián Film Festival.
The film focuses on the existential themes of solitude and fatality, avoiding ethical debates about bullfighting.
It intimately follows renowned torero Andres Roca Rey, capturing his life inside and outside the arena over two years of filming.
Serra's approach excludes the audience, concentrating solely on the torero, the bull, and the arena to emphasize the ritualistic and tragic dynamics of bullfighting.
Praised for its cinematic rigor and emotional depth, the documentary offers a poetic and intense portrayal of bravery, suffering, and mortality.
