Teresa Gereaux, gereaux@roanoke.edu false MM/DD/YYYYOur 2026 International Film Series continues with our Spanish film, Bad Education!
Films are free, open to the public, and subtitled in English. A panel-led discussion will follow the screening.
Pedro Almodóvar’s Bad Education stars Gael García Bernal and Fele Martínez as two long-lost friends reunited years after their traumatic experiences at a Catholic school run by a predatory priest, Father Manolo. This neo-noir, metafictional film explores themes of abuse, sexual identity, blackmail, and cinema's power to reshape reality, all woven into a nested narrative with shocking twists.
Transportation from Roanoke College may be available if you need it; contact Dr. Teresa Hancock-Parmer (hancock@roanoke.edu) for details.
