In 1960’s London Jenny is a typical 16 year old schoolgirl
who with her ambition to go to Oxford University wholly supported by her strict
father, can’t wait to grow up.
On the way home from school one day she is offered a lift
from a handsome stranger who shares her interests and begins to fall for her.
Flattered by the attention of an older man Jenny embraces an education in life
and allows David to show her everything she’s missing out on, despite the
advice of her teachers to concentrate on school.
With the support of Jenny’s parents David persuades them to
allow him to take Jenny to Paris where they spend time with his friends and he decides
to propose. As Jenny prepares to begin her new life as a wife, her parents are
fully supportive, but when Jenny learns how David and his friends make their
money and discovers he’s already married, she ends their relationship.
With the realisation of what she gave up to be with David, Jenny
does all she can to get back into school and pursue her dream of attending
Oxford, but when her head-teacher (Emma Thompson) isn’t impressed with her
behaviour and doesn’t allow it, she wonders if she will ever be able to achieve
her dream that she’s worked so hard towards.
Starring Carey
Mulligan, Peter Saarsgard, Dominic Cooper and Emma Thompson, An Education is an
excellent move which I would definitely recommend.
One to watch.
