The Moment of Truth
Il momento della verità (original)
THE MOMENT OF TRUTH (IL MOMENTO DELLA VERITÀ), from director Francesco Rosi, is a visceral plunge into the life of a famous torero—played by real-life bullfighting legend Miguel Mateo, known as Miguelín. Charting his rise and fall with a single-minded focus on the bloody business at hand, the film is at once gritty and operatic, placing the viewer right in the thick of the ring’s action, as close to death as possible. Like all of the great Italian truth seeker’s films, this is not just an electrifying drama but also a profound and moving inquiry into a violent world—and it’s perhaps the greatest bullfighting movie ever made.
Starring Miguel Mateo 'Miguelín', José Gómez Sevillano, Pedro Basauri 'Pedrucho', Linda Christian, Luque Gago, Salvador Mateo, Manuel Ruiz Serrana, Francisco Cano, Josè Rodriguez Matia, Manolo Perez Moratilla
It's a drama and comedy movie, and has a rating of 7.3 out of 10 from Imdb which is usually fine for this kind of movie.
