...length European-made documentary which brings to U.S. moviegoers all the blood and gore that Hollywood's code of ethics has denied them. Where Hollywood cameras have averted their gaze because of the bans on scenes of cruelty to animals, Bullfight stares fixedly and spares the viewer no detail of "the moment of truth...
