Blood and Sand (1922)

Rudolph Valentino blazes across the screen in Blood and Sand (1922), the passionate tale of a humble young Spaniard who rises to fame as a celebrated matador—only to find himself torn between love, ambition, and temptation. Filled with romance, spectacle, and smoldering drama, the film cemented Valentino’s status as silent cinema’s ultimate screen idol. Nearly a century later, his magnetic presence still commands the screen with undeniable intensity.

Live music with Rob Kovacs on piano.
