An Education

Taken from Wiki: An Education is a 2009 British coming-of-age drama film, based on a memoir of the same name by British journalist Lynn Barber. The film was directed by Lone Scherfig from a screenplay by Nick Hornby, and stars Carey Mulligan as Jenny, a bright schoolgirl, and Peter Sarsgaard as David, the charming con man who seduces her. The film was nominated for three Academy Awards in 2009 including Best Picture and Best Actress for Carey Mulligan.

An Education premiered at the 2009 Sundance Film Festival to critical acclaim. It screened on 10 September 2009 at the Toronto International Film Festival and was featured at the Telluride by the Sea Film Festival in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, USA, on 19 September 2009. The film was shown on 9 October 2009, at the Mill Valley Film Festival. It was released in the US on 16 October 2009 and in the UK on 30 October 2009.

NEVER GET TIRED OF THIS MASTERPIECE

Where do I start with this incredible example of British independent filmmaking which could never have been possible without Nick Hornby's wonderful script. Someone got very lucky casting an unknown and impeccable Carey Mulligan in the lead as Jenny winning her the Bafta and an academy award nomination for this role, her film debut.

It's the whole thing that makes this movie so special and quintessentially English. The set design and costumes capture the vibe of the sixties and stellar performances from Rosalynd Pike and Emma Thompson make this film a must watch over and over again.
