SIMILAR PICKS / A PERSONAL CONNECTION
01
Why this pick
Almodóvar again pairs lush, controlled melodrama with a shifting, transgressive mystery; its nested revelations and charged performances echo the unstable identities and erotic unease of Bad Education.
02
Why this pick
A more intimate but equally self-reflexive portrait of artistic creation, emotional performance, and private pain, told with the saturated visual elegance and adult melancholy that feed Bad Education.
03
Why this pick
Its glamorous surface conceals a taut study of reinvention, longing, and impersonation. Like Bad Education, it lets desire and self-invention steadily destabilize what the viewer thinks they know.
04
Why this pick
This sensual French coming-of-age drama shares Bad Education's bittersweet queer memory, formative school-world intensity, and delicate balance of personal awakening against a socially charged past.
05
Why this pick
A suspenseful, morally intricate drama about surveillance, art, and the stories people construct around one another. Its measured tension and eventual emotional weight suit Bad Education's serious, theatrical intrigue.

01 / THE STORY
In 1980 Madrid, young film director Enrique Goded is looking for his next project when he receives the unexpected visit of an actor looking for work. The actor claims to be Enrique's boarding school friend and first love, Ignacio Rodriguez. Ignacio, who is now using the name Ángel Andrade, has brought with him a short story titled "The Visit" hoping that Enrique would be interested in making a film out of it giving him the starring role. Enrique is intrigued since "The Visit" describes their time together at the Catholic school and it also includes a fictionalized account of their reunion many years later as adults.
