What film? The whole has a wonderfully pre-WWII feel to it?

Where was it taken? While in Gascony in the summer I was surprised by the 
number 
of posters that I saw for corridas. I thought that it was dying out.

Personally I go with BD. Number 3 shows not only the moment as the fighter 
at 
the peak of his courage, kneeling before the bull turning with his cape 
flowing 
(is that a Veronica?), the  bull caught off balance, the matador seeming 
*just* 
to get away with it.

Very well shot. Thanks for posting.
