MADRID, Spain — Pedro Almodovar has finally received an award in Spain for Bad Education.
Bad Education, which was passed over for The Sea Inside as Spain's entry for the Oscars, received a Bunel's Razor award for best Spanish movie of 2004. The film is about a man haunted by an abusive priest from his childhood.
"Bad Education was a movie I had wanted to make for a long time. For some reason I had left it year after year and now that I've done it, I feel I've lifted a weight off me," Almodovar said.
He received the award at Tuesday night's ceremony from Penelope Cruz, who appeared in his 1999 film, All About My Mother.
