Short Review

The very stark & gritty realistic film shot entirely on the streets of Madrid. It is very much a fly on the wall of group young delinquents from the street.The acting was surprisingly natural for what seemed strongly like an unknown amateur cast. The locales the director chose to film in Madrid where fascinating it was by far the less glamourous side of the city.The all tried to band together to support their friends bull fighting passion & how they got there was quite dark & confrontational. It is quite a violent film for late 50's early 60's & an impressive Spanish film.
