Pedro Amodovar's Bad Education is one of Pedro's most audacious and critically acclaimed films yet.     A two time Academy Award winner for "Best Foreign Film" (All About My Mother) and for Best Original Screenplay (Talk to Her), Almodovar proves once more that he is one of the most original and controversial directors working today.

Bad Education sees the reunion on Enrique Goded and Ignacio Rodriquez who met 15 years earlier as children in the darkness of a catholic school, where they discovered sexuality, harassment, hypocrisy and their first common hate toward the priests from whom they received their "bad education".   Ignacio, now an aspiring actor, rescues Enrique from a lull in his career by proposing a biographical film based on their childhood and schooling.   Both men delve into the repression of their dark past and attempt to re-establish the unbreakable bond they once shared.

Bad Education is a film noir which uncovers the devastating and liberating truths surrounding the men who are now masters of their destinies, their bodies and their desires.   However, after so many years apart, things and people are not at all what they may seem...
