Sixteen-year-old Jenny (Mulligan) entertains fantasies of a Francophile future while conscientiously pursuing the education that her father Jack (Molina) hopes will get her into Oxford.
But the typical ‘60s family dynamic is rent asunder with the arrival of charismatic thirty-something David (Sarsgaard), who introduces her to an exciting new world of classical music, art and nightclubs.
In the hands of Danish director Lone Scherfig (WILBUR WANTS TO KILL HIMSELF, ITALIAN FOR BEGINNERS) and writer Nick Hornby (HIGH FIDELITY, ABOUT A BOY), AN EDUCATION is a charming, funny yet provocative coming-of-age movie reflecting a staid post-war Britain that was on the uncertain brink of a cultural revolution.
