Bad Education (2022)★ 6.9/10

It’s often said that Almodóvar is a homosexual, and some even claim this movie is autobiographical. I can’t help but wonder how he could handle all that despair when he made such an emotionally wrecking movie.

Every time I watch a Pedro Almodóvar movie, I’m reminded that he is a great storyteller.

If the films I watched before made me appreciate Almodóvar’s talent, Bad Education is the one that made me fall in love with him.

After Juan murdered his brother and created an alibi, he and the priest walked out of the cinema. The priest remarked, It seems like all the movies are about us.” In the background, three posters can be seen on the cinema wall: The Human Beast, Double Indemnity, and Thérèse Raquin. Each of these films revolves around a husband caught between his wife and a homewrecker.
