Bad Education (DVD)

Bad Education (or La Mala Educación) is the latest film (released 2004) from the great Spanish director Pedro Almodóvar. Anyone who has an interest in Spanish cinema will know Almodóvar as the director of such excellent films as “Talk to Her” and “All About My Mother”. Bad Education stars Gael Garcia Bernal, the Mexican heart-throb who has appeared in a whole list of films, not least “The Motorcycle Diaries”, “Amores Perros” and “Y tu Mamá También”. ...
...I am not sure that Bad Education is quite as good as “All About My Mother” or “Talk to Her” but it is still superb. I would highly recommend it to anybody who likes classic cinema with strong involving storylines and brilliant acting. Only homophobes and the internationally challenged need steer clear. Rated 15/ R for strong sexual content throughout, language and some drug use. Official site : www.lamalaeducacion.com ...

...lives, but creating this movie unearths some very harsh truths. It is an interesting film, great twists!!!!!!!!!!!!!! if you have the patients for subtitles, it is very humorous and surprising at times. It can be very graphic. The ending is slightly weak, but leaves you fulfilled. Some great proformances. Overall I found the movie interesting and believable, I will definately watch out for the director and the actors for up and coming movies. ...
