Bad Education – La Mala Educación (2004)

A film by Spanish director Pedro Almadóvar that was quite enjoyable. I can't recall whether or not I'd seen any other movies by this director, but I will look for more in the future. All of the scenes were very colorful and it was a beautiful movie to view. An inappropriate movie for kids due to a large dose of adult content, it is based on the director's youth.

Two men, former classmates as boys, are reunited after 20 years apart and the mystery begins. One man has become a film director, Ignacio, and the other man, Enrique, is an aspiring actor who returns to Ignacio in pursuit of a job. Enrique has a script in his possession and, as Ignacio is in a lull between projects and looking for new material, he decides to attempt the project. There is a feeling of uncertainty right from the start as Ignacio doesn't completely recognize his old friend. At first, I thought it was simply a typical story about sexual misconduct in the Catholic Church, but as the movie develops, there is a unique surprise.
