| SYNOPSIS
|
| Celebrated
Spanish auteur Pedro Almodóvar's latest is a classic film noir
set in Madrid, 1960 - 1980. Two kids, Ignacio and Enrique, discover
love, cinema and fear in a religious school. Father Manolo, the school
principal and their literature teacher, is witness to and part of
these discoveries. The three characters meet twice again, at the end
of the 70s and in the 80s. The re-encounter will mark the life and
death of some of them. |
 Review
by DARREL MANSON
There
are no innocents in this film. Each of the characters is in turn
a victim and also a perpetrator of abuse of various kinds. Each
is morally culpable for some of the evil that befalls others and
themselves.
But in each character we see them blaming others without being
willing to accept their own share of the blame. Their actions,
whether sexual abuse, blackmail, or murder, are really based in
striving for power over others. Each is retaliating for actions
others have done in asserting their power. That striving for power
is the foundation for much of the way people injure one another.
Bad Education shows us how the struggle for power can bring ruin
into many lives.
