UK/2009/100 mins/12A. Dir: Lone Scherfig. With Peter Sarsgaard, Carey Mulligan, Rosamund Pike, Sally Hawkins, Alfred Molina.
Its 1961 and Jenny, a witty and precocious 16-year-old living a sheltered life in the suburbs of London, has her eyes on a place at Oxford until a dashingly handsome and maybe slightly shady businessman, David, whisks her away and introduces her to London’s ‘university of life’. Based on the humorous and moving memoirs of journalist Lynn Barber, and adapted for screen by Nick Hornby, An Education shows a post war sixties which was yet to swing, but which had opportunities a plenty for fun, culture and the high life.
"a wonderful film, emotionally pulsing, culturally observant, simply bursts with life" — Variety
