      Pedro Almodovar's moving and funny tribute to women, the men who want to be women and the glories of melodrama was an audience and critics' favorite around the world. The Academy Awards, the Chicago Film Critics Association, the Los Angeles Film Critics Association, the New York Film Critics Circle and the National Board of Review all proclaimed it the Best Foreign Language Film of 1999. Cecilia Roth, Antonia San Juan, Marisa Paredes and Penelope Cruz all give exceptional performances in this unique tale of a mother and the friendships she makes as she looks for her former lover after their son is killed.

      Pedro Almodovar riffs on melodrama and film noir and even steals a page from Hitchcock's Vertigo in this rapturous and intimate drama starring Gael Garcia Bernal. The labyrinthine plot, which is impossible to adequately summarize, begins with an encounter between a successful young film director (Fele Martinez) and a young man claiming to be the director's former lover. This latter role is just one of three tackled by Bernal, who also dons lipstick and vamps as a drug-addicted performer in a gay nightclub. With its intricate structure, overlapping chronology, and emotional complexity, Bad Education functions as "a gloriously feverish ode to what drives us to do things great and terrible" (New York Daily News). In Spanish with English subtitles.

Benigno, a male nurse, and Marco, a journalist, meet in a hospital while caring for their loved ones who both are in comas.

      The controversial hit by Pedro Almodovar about Ricki, who falls in love with Marina, an ex-porn movie star, and proceeds to capture her and tie her up at her own apartment. She is torn between trying to escape and falling in love with him. "Almodovar's theme is not the domination of women, but the strangeness of love and possessiveness. The performances are outstanding. Antonio Banderas is psychopathic and vulnerable, Victoria Abril is fierce and funny" (Sight and Sound). This is the uncut, unrated version of the film (also released in an R-rated version) which first earned an "X" from the MPAA for its sexual content. The film was later given an NC-17 when that rating was created. Spanish with English subtitles.
