"Bad Education" Pedro Almodovar riffs on
melodrama and film noir and even steals a page from Hitchcock's Vertigo in
this rapturous and intimate drama starring Gael Garcia Bernal. The
labyrinthine plot, which is impossible to adequately summarize, begins
with an encounter between a successful young film director (Fele Martinez)
and a young man claiming to be the director's former lover. This latter
role is just one of three tackled by Bernal, who also dons lipstick and
vamps as a drug-addicted performer in a gay nightclub. With its intricate
structure, overlapping chronology, and emotional complexity, Bad
Education functions as "a gloriously feverish ode to what drives us to
do things great and terrible" (New York Daily News). Spanish with
English subtitles.
104 minutes. |
