It's 1961 in the London suburb of Twickenham, and bright sixteen-year-old Jenny (Carey Mulligan) is on the cusp of womanhood, fantasizing about a more sophisticated, refined life while smoking Gauloises cigarettes. Though she feels smothered by her own adolescence, Jenny is an assiduous, cello-playing schoolgirl with a real chance of landing a spot at Oxford University. Her path takes a turn, however, when she meets David (Peter Sarsgaard), a man who seems to embody her every fantasy.
An Education is a moving film set against the stifling backdrop of post-war, pre-Paul McCartney England. The script by Nick Hornby (author of High Fidelity and About a Boy), based on a short memoir by British journalist Lynn Barber, is clever and nuanced, with a keen awareness of life's little absurdities. Director Lone Scherfig and her incredible ensemble cast deliver both a powerful coming-of-age story and a portrait of a culture on the threshold of change.
