About Bad Education
Pedro Almodóvar’s 2004 film stars Gael García Bernal and Fele Martínez as two long-lost friends reunited years after their traumatic experiences at a Catholic school run by a predatory priest, Father Manolo. This neo-noir, metafictional film explores themes of abuse, sexual identity, blackmail, and cinema's power to reshape reality, all woven into a nested narrative with shocking twists.
2004, Pedro Almodóvar, Rated R, 106 min
