As February is an exam month, taking you back to your school years seems only fitting.

Teenage girl falls for older man and ignores her studying. This could be the title of a "Sun" article, but far from that, it is a super brief (and kind of simplistic) summary of this month´s film.

"An education" is a coming-of-age story about a teenage girl, Jenny (Carey Mulligan), in 1960s suburban London, and how her life changes with the arrival of a playboy, David (Peter Sarsgaard), nearly twice her age.

Jenny lives with her parents in the London suburb of Twickenham. On her father Jack´s wishes, everything she does is in the sole pursuit of being accepted into Oxford, as he wants her to have a better life than him. Jenny´s life changes after she meets David Goldman, a man over twice her age. David goes out of his way to show Jenny and her family that his interest in her is not improper (that´s the 1960s we´re talking about!) and that he only wants to expose her to cultural activities which she enjoys.

I´m obviously not going to tell you if this ends well or not, you´ll have to watch the film to find out for yourselves! What I am going to tell you is that you should give it a try for many reasons: the cast is brilliant (Carey Mulligan was nominated for an Oscar for her role in "Promising young woman"), the period drama-ish atmosphere will make you feel nostalgic and the cinematography is just beautiful. So take a break from studying and go grab the dvd from the library!
