"An Education"
Jenny Mellor (Carey Mulligan) longs to be as far from her gray-brown London life as possible. Striving for entry to Oxford — as much her own wish as her ambitious father's — and swooning over French music, she dreams of a Continental life. "If I get to University, I'm going to read what I want and think about what I want and listen to what I want. And I'm going to look at paintings and go to French films and talk to people who know lots about lots," she says.
