An Education (2009)
Country: GB
Technical: col/2.35:1 100m
Director: Lone Scherfig
Cast: Carey Mulligan, Peter Sarsgaard, Alfred Molina, Dominic Cooper, Olivia Williams, Rosamund Pike, Emma Thompson, Cara Seymour
Synopsis:
A suburban grammar schoolgirl has her perspective on life shaken - and her future put in jeopardy - through a courtship with an older man.
Review:
With its title offering twin interpretations of the narrative's subject matter, the film never quite makes up its mind whether it is with the heroine in her rejection of the traditional view of education as a means to an end, or with her final realignment and pursuit of an Oxford degree, life's lessons having been learnt; though it does offer in her headmistress and English teacher neat paradigms of the two mindsets.
