Screenshot from Bad Education, a film by Pedro Almodovar

This is a screenshot from one of my favourite films, Bad Education, directed by Pedro Almodovar. The film was very multi-faceted and tackled a lot of issues, and I feel was very artistically done. There were a lot of shots which I felt would've worked as stills, and this one in particular stood out to me. The contrast between the delicate china and remnants of food to the presence of a syringe and distorted reflection accentuates the ugliness of drug addiction. Although the image does not directly represent the character in the film, he is still centred in the shot through the reflection, which is a very powerful way of maintaining human presence.
