 bad education
 to access audio and video on collective you need real player.Almodóvar’s masterclass. His own troubled Catholic education proves fertile ground for Pedro Almodóvar in his latest, effortlessly brilliant melodrama. Gael Garcia Bernal’s cross-dressing femme fatale is the inspired twist for a modern-day film noir (or, given the habitual expressionistic colour schemes, film rouge) that drags in the director’s usual obsessions – the church, cinema, forbidden passions and the odd transvestite or two. It’s both a compendium and, along with the gentler, more likeable Talk To Her, perhaps the crowning achievement of his career to date. Bad Education, on selected release 21 May 04.
