Bad Education

I finally got around to seeing Pedro Almodovar's latest film Bad Education (La Mala Educacion) last night. It was well worth the wait - I absolutely loved it. The film had a couple of scenes with characters diving into a brilliant blue, cool and refreshing swimming pool - these scenes, with their bright colours and beautiful juxtaposition of contrasting objects, occasional snippets of slow motion highlighting the clean lines of movement - are perfect examples of how Almodovar films seem to me in their entirety. Maybe it's because I was just in Madrid earlier this month and the relaxed Spanish mode is still with me, but in a word, I found this film beautiful.
Gael Garcia Bernal is appearing on the London stage in Federico Garcia Lorca's Blood Wedding at the Almedia Theatre soon. I'm hoping to snag a ticket and see the new adaptation.
Sarah's rating: **** out of 5
