Santa Sangre :The Bull ALWAYS wins

Fierce Russian beauty Anna Selezneva battles a raging, invisible bull in today’s matador-inspired short by Swedish director Axel Lindahl. 

Fascinated by the dichotomy of brutality and grace inherent in the historic Spanish bloodsport, the director becomes the invisible beast, provoking a performance that captures the urgency and danger of a real fight.
