As a first time director, Dennis does a nice job of letting us be a fly on the wall as a few of his friends (and himself) take on the festivities and the culture of the running of the bulls in Pamplona, Spain. Through his film, we get to understand why some people include this activity in their lives. His subjects include Americans and a Spaniard, so we get less of a Western view, but more of a human view. I also how Dennis touched on the bullfighting aspect of the festival without passing judgement, leaving those tricky emotions to the audience.
The filmmaking is nice, while not being too obtrusive or artistic. Editing is tight, the film flies by (as it should).
Recommend.
