There Is No Way I Knowing How
La Mala Educacion by Pedro Almodovar
Seriously, you can hardly be disappointed by this film - Bad Education (aka. La Mala Educacion), Pedro Almodovar is a excellent storytelling master. The way he constructs all the characters and the story was just magnificent. He builds a very simple concept, and starts to add different layers, constitutes a fascinating complexity. This Noir-style film is so unpredictable with interesting twists and thrills - Rape, Homo-erotic childhood, christianity, murder, drag queen and drugs...! It just really amazed me, I think it deserves a touchdown. [5 out of 5]
Not even mention how intelligent he design all those brillant settings! Use of Color was very unbridled, which creates a very rich texture of every scene. For instant, the Orange Cinema, the Red tavern, the Blue Office and the Brown House that's contrasting the bright Red chairs and the light blue swimming pool. It's just so beautiful.
How could I not to mention the big reason of why it is a must see movie? Gael Garcia Bernal. After seeing him in Y Tu Mama Tambien and The Motorcycle Diaries (Diarios de Moto), his performance in La Mala Educacion has push himself to the boundary. Acting a character with multi-identities in the film is definitely a big challenge, but he just handles it perfectly well. He is now my most favorite actor, this person is worshipped by me and Pauly now. *grins*
OK, here is the synopsis: (from Yahoo!)
Young Spanish filmmaker Enrique (Fele Martinez) is paid a surprise visit by a young man (Gael Garcia Bernal) who claims to be his childhood friend from primary school, now looking for work as an actor. He goes by the stage name of Angel but Enrique knew him as Ignacio - his first lover. Angel has also written a screenplay, The Visit, which Enrique finds engrossing - a story based on their experiences at a Catholic school in the early 70s, where Fr Manolo (Daniel Gimenez Cacho) lusted after Ignacio. As Enrique shoots the film, the flashbacks reveal a more complicated story, as the lives of all concerned are unravelled.
