1960's London? A young woman's coming-of-age story woven with her romance with a man nearly twice her age? A Sundance Film Festival award winner? Sounds like a film for the Fort St. John Film Society!
With that in mind, it's no surprise that the FSJ Film Society will be showing An Education on Monday, February 8 at 7pm at the Aurora Cinema. Tickets are $8 in advance (at Cosmic Grounds or the Visitor Information Centre) or $9 at the door.
An Education is a 2009 Britsh film based on an autobiographical memoir of the same title written by the British journalist Lynn Barber. The film was directed by Lone Scherfig, with screenplay written by Nick Hornby. The film premiered at the Sundance Film Festival, won the Audience and Cinematography award, and went on to be nominated for numerous other awards including the Golden Globes and Academy Awards.
An Education is the story of a teenage girl's coming-of-age set in 1961 London, a city caught between the drab, post-war 1950s and the glamorous, more liberated decade to come. Jenny (Carey Mulligan) stands on the brink of becoming a woman: a brilliantly witty and attractive 16-year-old whose suburban life is about to be blown apart by the utterly unsuitable 30-something David (Peter Sarsgaard). Urbane and witty, David manages to charm her conservative parents Jack (Alfred Molina) and Marjorie (Cara Seymour). David introduces Jenny to a glittering new world of classical concerts and late-night suppers with his attractive friend and business partner, Danny (Dominic Cooper) and Danny's girlfriend, the beautiful but vacuous Helen (Rosamund Pike). Just as Jenny's family's long-held dream of getting their brilliant daughter into Oxford seems within reach, Jenny is tempted by another kind of life.
