An Education
An education isn't always by the book.
Directed by Lone Scherfig
Produced by BBC Film, Wildgaze Films
A coming-of-age drama that traces a teenage girl's seduction by an older man, balancing the intoxication of adult romance with the dawning recognition of manipulation and loss of innocence.
Despite her sheltered upbringing, Jenny is a teen with a bright future; she's smart, pretty, and has aspirations of attending Oxford University. When David, a charming but much older suitor, motors into her life in a shiny automobile, Jenny gets a taste of adult life that she won't soon forget.
