An Education

Nick Hornby has produced another extraordinary novel turned screenplay in this post-war, pre-beatles coming-of-age story. I fell in love with the classic 60's style and the political commentary on the place of women in the early 6o's. It's a film for the romantic, much like myself, a film that portrays a seemingly inappropriate relationship as natural. One of the best of 2009.
