If you loved Pain and Glory, try Bad Education
A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.
What they share
Both films are directed by Pedro Almodóvar, and they both carry the bittersweet, foreign gem mood tags, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Pain and Glory, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Bad Education is
A Spanish boarding school, winter, a whispered secret. A filmmaker revisits his past through a script, a transvestite performer confronts her childhood trauma. Almodóvar revisits his signature themes of identity and desire.
