Manolete: Blood & Passion (a.k.a. The Passion Within)
In battle, he was a god. In love, he was only a man.
Academy Award winners Penélope Cruz and Adrien Brody star in this epic true story based on the legendary bull-fighter, famously known as 'Manolete'.
Despite his immense popularity and stardom, Manolete (Brody) lived in a quiet and reserved life until he met the beautiful Lupe Sino (Cruz). Going against the warnings of those closest to him, he risked everything to pursue his new love, resulting in a whirlwind of passion and tragedy.

I was pleased to meet Manolete - Amateur
This was a very interesting story. You really get a feel for the almost insane courage it takes to be in an arena against an enormous bull. The movie is also about the love between a torero and a woman. The way this love is portrayed is almost like the torero was infatuated with her. I feel that the movie progressed too rapidly failing to set up this love. What was it about this woman that the man loved so much? Also I would have been curious to see a more gradual development of this man`s career as a bull fighter. Nevertheless the story kept you interested and the acting was of a superior quality.
