Selection Semi-Officielle 2009 / Director: Lone Scherfig

An Education

NB! Additional Screening Sunday 27th Sep at 9pm, Andorra

There’s no movie in Sundance festival that’s quite as ravishing, as witty, as well-acted or as satisfying overall as ”An Education”, an early-’60s London coming-of-age fable from writer Nick Hornby and director Lone Scherfig. In a performance of Audrey Hepburn-esque starmaking intensity, young English actress Carey Mulligan plays 16-year-old Jenny, a precocious student, talented cellist and aspiring woman of the world who’s trapped in the middle-class suburban dreariness of Twickenham, circa 1961. -- England in the early ‘60s wasn’t yet, you know, ‘60s England.
