Today's film is one of those indescribable movie experiences.

But as Roger Ebert says in his review.

I've just thrown out the first 500 words of my review and am starting again with a sense of joy and release. I was attempting to describe the plot of "Bad Education." It was quicksand, and I was sinking fast. You and I have less than 1,000 words to spend together discussing this fascinating film, and not only would the plot take up half of that, but if I were by some miracle to succeed in making it clear, that would only diminish your pleasure.

Bad Education (2004)

Pedro Almodovar directs. I am watching this again because Gael Garcia Bernal is in it but the film has to be viewed again and again.

It is not that it is puzzling. All of it is pretty clear. There are many viewpoints of the same situation. Not that these can be reconciled because, well, that is life. Or at least life in Almodovar's studio.

This is a clear 5 out of Netflix5. And I will see it again sometime.
