CASTELLON DE LA PLANA, Spain: Basta, already. Matadors are threatening to shed their traje de luces, turn in their capes and leave the bulls alone if the Spanish government doesn't lighten regulations in the ring. The bullfighters are threatening a walkout over current regulations that say a breeder faces fines of up to $65,000 if examinations after the fight show that they have shaved their bull's horns.

The finale, when Figaro (Tony Plana) returned to join the junta and declared that the real measure of progress would be if the life of Almaviva (Olek Krupa) was spared, was a simply staged moment of glowing humanity, edged with doubt about whether Figaro's decency would prevail...
...film Sophie's Choice--is brilliant in the part, shifting from gawky innocence to sadder but wiser recollection and infusing it all with the self- intoxicating energy of the New Frontier.
