In a number of sterling outfits including several top notch drag looks, the Mexican star pops as much as the colours.

It’s about top administrators at the Roslyn, New York school district and real-life embezzlement scheme, which came crashing down when the high-school newspaper broke the story in 2004.

unlabelledView post →When I was a film critic at the @latimes.com, I wrote about Almodovar's "La Mala Educación" ("Bad Education"), a film about the repression & censorship of artists and intellectuals under Franco & the church's abuse. Editors made me remove the word "fascist." In a piece about Franco's Spain. In 2004.

I was expecting that to be him at his outrageous best, but it felt a little inert. It's not as camp or punk as his earlier work, and it lacks to Hitchcock flavor of the later films.

The story centres around aspiring actor "Angel" (Gael Garciá Bernal) who turns up, unannounced, at the door of his former schoolfriend.
