On this episode of The Fixate & Binge Podcast, writer/director Jonathan Rosado joins the show to discuss his surreal new feature MATADOR BOLERO— a hypnotic midnight-art-house experience blending dream logic, symbolic imagery, exploitation cinema, and cosmic mystery.
Shot on Super 8mm and starring experimental music artist Yves Tumor in a mesmerizing acting debut, the film evokes the psychosexual nightmare logic of David Lynch and the surrealist symbolism of Alejandro Jodorowsky while carving out a strange identity all its own.
Jonathan discusses the film’s visual language, retro grindhouse aesthetic, underground influences, fragmented storytelling, and the challenge of crafting a cinematic experience driven more by mood, texture, and emotional immersion than conventional narrative structure.
We also explore cult cinema, surrealism, midnight movies, and why films like MATADOR BOLERO feel increasingly rare in modern independent filmmaking.
