Has anyone seen Pedro Almodóvar's newest movie "Bad Education"/"La Mala Educación"? I've been hearing great things about it so far. Has anyone else seen it yet? How'd you like it?

There's a recent article about it on USATODAY.com's page HERE . I'll copy part of the article below...:

'Bad Education' a difficult course
By Claudia Puig, USA TODAY

The Spanish title of Pedro Almodóvar's latest film means more than it connotes in English. Bad Education, translated to La Mala Educación, is a play on a Spanish expression that refers to someone who is ill-behaved or badly brought up. That would only begin to describe the pedophiliac priest who is the principal of a boys' school around whom this story revolves.

As the scandal involving pederast priests in the Roman Catholic church has rocked the United States, similar abominations have gone on around the world. This is a movie about the sexual and emotional abuse in Spain, one of the most Catholic of countries. It is also about the traumatic after-effects experienced by the victim and the perpetrator. It is relentlessly dark. No one is heroic, several are unscrupulous and no one is left unscathed.

Bad Education is a thriller with a subplot involving a love story with graphic depictions of adult homosexuality. Ignacio (Gael García Bernal) approaches Enrique (Fele Martínez), his old school friend who is now a successful filmmaker, with a screenplay about his childhood, early molestation and subsequent revenge. Intrigued, Enrique makes the film. So what we are watching is a movie within a movie, with surprising twists in each.

..(snipped out part of the article here to shorten it)..

Though Almodóvar has dealt with disturbing subjects before (the rape of a comatose young woman in Talk to Her and gay-bashing in All About My Mother), this is by far his most tragic story. His previous films always have included some shred of hope, even if ambiguously presented. But Bad Education focuses on vengeance without any hope of redemption, which may be a more honest and believable approach to a story of child rape. But its grim reality makes it one of the year's toughest movies to watch.
