Bad Education

We saw “Bad Education” this weekend. Wow. I love Pedro Almodóvar’s movies – though other than this one I’ve only seen “Talk to Her” and “All About My Mother.” The characters in his films are so dramatic, the plots so fanciful, the colors so brilliantly beautiful. This one was particularly haunting – the trying on of selves, of genders; the world refracted through the art of storytelling. It was reminiscent of “Vertigo,” in both plot and music. In fact, I loved the music so much that I’ve just ordered the soundtrack. The movie’s definitely worth seeing.
