When she's not playing that woman, she's giving a performance - in his life, although it works the other way around in hers.
#LA MALA EDUCACION 2004 TORRENT MOVIE#
There's no doubt in my mind that Almodovar screened Hitchcock's " Vertigo" before making the movie and was fascinated by the idea of a man asking a woman to pretend to be the woman he loves, without knowing she actually is the woman he loves. In "Bad Education," he uses straight and gay (and for that matter, transvestite and transsexual) as categories which the "real" characters and the "fictional" characters use as roles, disguises, strategies, deceptions or simply as a way to make a living. His movies are never about sex but about consequences and emotions. Sex is a given in an Almodovar movie, anyway. You see hands and heads moving, and it's up to you to figure out why. There is enough sex in the movie to earn it an NC-17 rating, although not enough to make it even distantly pornographic. The film within the film allows Almodovar to show transgressive sexual behavior at a time during Franco's fascist regime in Spain when it was illegal and so twice as exciting. "Lurid" for me is usually a word of praise. That is all of the story you will hear from me, although to fan your interest, I will note that Gael Garcia Bernal, an actor who is turning out to be as versatile as Johnny Depp, portrays a drag queen in the movie, and does it so well that if he had played Hephaistion, Alexander would have stayed at home in Macedonia, and they could have opened an antique shop, antiquities being dirt cheap at the time.Īlmodovar loves melodrama. Indeed, he permitted the abuse in order to get Enrique out of some trouble: "I sold myself for the first time that night in the sacristy." Enrique would ordinarily not be interested, but he learns that his visitor is the Ignacio – the boy who was his first adolescent love, back in school, and that the story is set in their school days and involves Ignacio being sexually abused by a priest at the school.
Ignacio has written a story he wants Enrique to read. The story, which I will not describe, involves a young movie director named Enrique ( Fele Martinez) who is visited one day by Ignacio ( Gael Garcia Bernal). While you're watching it, you don't realize how confused you are, because it either makes sense from moment to moment or, when it doesn't, you're distracted by the sex. Pedro Almodovar's new movie is like an ingenious toy that is a joy to behold, until you take it apart to see what makes it work, and then it never works again.
So there's 153 words right there, and my guess is, you're thinking the hell with it, just tell us what it's about and if it's any good.
