Tardes de soledad is the first documentary that the Catalan director Albert Serra has made, but it is totally consistent with the rest of his films and the way that he understands cinematic art: “What I have done is to look for things with the camera that cannot be seen with the human eye. Starting out from reality, but amplifying and stylizing it, and entering the realm of fantasy a little bit. That is, what I’ve done in all my films.” Making a documentary was based on a previous commitment that Serra had made, but no subject interested him until he thought about bullfighting. Initially the project was going to contrast two different bullfighters, Pablo Aguado and Andrés Roca Rey. In the end, they ended up focusing exclusively on the latter, recording his performance in fourteen different bullfights, as well as his preparation, rituals, and conversations with his colleagues. “The choice of the bullfighter was almost a casting process that was not so different from the one for a fiction film,” Serra said. The controversial nature of the subject is not lost on the director but he said that it seemed ridiculous to him to focus on a work of art because of the subject it deals with.”
