One of the hottest films at Sundance<\/a> this year is An Education<\/a><\/i>, written by Nick Hornby (High Fidelity<\/i>, About a Boy<\/i>, Fever Pitch<\/a><\/i>) and directed by Lone Scherfig<\/a> (Italian for Beginners<\/i>, Wilbur Wants to Kill Himself<\/i>). And Bilge Ebiri<\/a> notes an interesting detail about the film at the end of this paragraph, in his review:<\/span><\/p>\n

Set in the early 60s, the film is the story of 16-year old Jenny (Mulligan), a precocious and beautiful schoolgirl from a lower middle-class milieu who studies hard, plays the cello, and rifles through a dog eared copy of L\u2019Etranger<\/i> while dreaming of going to France, as Juliette Greco sings in the background. Jenny isn\u2019t exactly a goody two-shoes, however. Most likely Oxford-bound, she has the smarts and the passion to know that she\u2019s cut out for better things. One day, when David (Peter Sarsgaard), a handsome, older man with a taste for all the fine things she only dreams about, drives by and shows an interest in her, Jenny falls fast. David is a charmer, to be sure. He\u2019s got money, he\u2019s got friends who hang out at auctions and buy Pre-Raphaelite paintings, and he also has plenty of pointed lies to deploy: He convinces Jenny\u2019s conservative parents to let him take her for a weekend jaunt to Oxford by promising he\u2019ll introduce her to C.S. Lewis<\/a> (or, as he calls him, \u201cClive\u201d).<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Well, for parents concerned about the sort of men their daughters are hooking up with \u2014 especially those who would be impressed by a man\u2019s alleged friendship with Lewis \u2014 that last detail should be a dead giveaway that David is up to no good. Real<\/i> friends of Lewis\u2019s, of course, addressed him as \u201cJack<\/a>\u201c.<\/p>\n

Not that that was necessarily well known at the time, of course.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
