Storyline

After a bull is killed in a bullfight, its body parts are transported across Spain, France, Italy and Belgium. The bull's parts fall into the wide variety of people, including: an Italian actress selling the bones in a supermarket promotion, a Spanish woman who dines on its steaks, a little girl in France who imagines a world where animals are much larger than humans, and a taxidermist whose wife is simultaneously giving birth to quintuplets.

User Reviews

One of the Best films i've seen in a long time.

I really have no idea what the other people who have posted on this film are thinking. Maybe they don't really know what they are talking about. This film blew me away. I saw it a week ago and i cannot get it out of my mind. I will admit that i am a fan of the six-degrees stories. I think they are quite interesting and i'm sorry if some people are too used to their linear, straight forward plot lines of most major features. The cinematography is beautiful throughout the entire film, and the mise-en-scene really deserves a second or third look to be fully appreciated. The characters are dynamic and interesting, and we care about them without having everything fed to us on a platter. I was so amazed to learn that this was the directors first film, and i greatly anticipate anything she puts out in the future, please see this movie and make up your own mind. I really doubt anyone will be disappointed, even if you do not hold it in as high regard as me.
