You can stream Far from the Trees (1972) on GuideDoc with a subscription.

An unprejudiced portrait of Spanish folklore and a crude analysis in black and white of its intimate relationship with atavism and superstition, with violence and pain, with blood and death; a story of terror, a journey to the most sinister and ancestral Spain; the one that lived far from the most visited tourist destinations, from the economic miracle and unstoppable progress, relentlessly promoted by the Franco regime during the sixties.

Far from the Trees is a film that explores themes of franco regime (francoism), matador (bullfighter), anthropology. It also touches on religious cult and animal cruelty and popular festivity.
