Review of Blood and Sand (1922) by Greg W — 12 Jan 2013
A bullfighter who becomes a Spanish celebrity experiences the lust that comes with fame and fortune and may wreck his marriage to the only woman he ever loved. Some narrative elements are clearly outdated.
On the other hand, the passionate scenes of lust seem daring for its time, and one cannot avoid noticing an underlined protest against bullfighting, which is also admirable. But mostly, it is the legendary Rudolph Valentino, whose charisma once again takes the overall quality of the film up a step.
