Morning! Can you believe I have watched a grand total of 1 film in the past 3 weeks? I know, I must be sick. Well in fact I may actually be cured. The last thing I've wanted to do recently is continue with my sitting-on-arse, but alas have been missing out on some decent viewing. Last night I watched An Education, something which I have been waiting to see for quite a few months. It pulled me in explicitly, every scene was simply beautiful to watch (not just for the lead Carey Mulligan who by the way is so adorable it made me feel guilty for feeling so even though the actor is 25) and the subject matter had me slightly wary the entire duration. 16 year old Jenny is seduced by the charming and rich David (Peter Sarsgaard who before this I really disliked), who ends up tricking the parents to let her spend weekends away with him. I was waiting for something horribly bad to happen until the very end, where technically it did but not in the Hollywood everything-explodes-and-the-villain-gets-impaled sort of way. This really is a beautiful coming-of-age story of a silly girl doing silly things at that silly age. Watch this film before it disappears into the "international arthouse" dust pile and is never referred to again so we can make blog and article space for the new Roland Emmerich disaster epic.
