These meetings are set to change the life and death of some of them.
Pedro Almodóvar - La mala educación (2004)
# The film opened the 57th Cannes Film Festival in 2004. It was the first Spanish film to ever get that honor.
# Pedro Almodóvar worked on the story structure for over 10 years.
# Pedro Almodóvar dedicated the opening night performance at the Cannes Film Festival to those who had been killed in the al'Qaeda terrorist train bombings in Madrid the previous month.
# 'Gael Garcia Bernal' fired off an angry riposte to New York Times reporter Lynn Hirschberg after she claimed that he had fallen out with Pedro Almodóvar over filming the explicit homosexual love scenes in the film. Bernal wanted it on record that he had had absolutely no reservations about taking the role.
# Aside from perfecting a Spanish accent for the film, Mexican Gael Garcia Bernal also had to master Spanish body language. He took flamenco lessons to help him do that. He also studied the films of Barbara Stanwyck and Spanish camp icon Sara Montiel, as well as Almodovar's previous leading ladies, Carmen Maura and Victoria Abril. When asked, however, if there was a particular femme fatale he sought to emulate, Bernal's response was Alain Delon's sexually ambiguous Ripley in "Plein Soleil" (1960).
# Originally rated NC-17 in the States. An oral sex scene was blurred to obtain an R rating.
