The official Sony Classics one-sheet for Lone Scherfig's An Education debuted today on Movie City News. What does it "say"? Period, obviously. A certain poise, a touch of class. But not necessarily an older guy-younger lassy relationship. (Peter Sarsgaard has been Photoshopped to look 26 or so, and Carey Mulligan could be 22 or 23.) What it doesn't say -- and what it should say, I feel -- is "a mid '60s John Schlesinger film." In sum, it feels a shade too cautious. But what do I know?

Looking forward to catching this sometime.
But seriously Mr. Wells, the target audiences today don't realize that there WERE movies made before 1977 and "Star Wars" -- and most of Schlesinger's best 60s movies were filmed in black & white -- most people I know who are under 35 won't watch a movie if it's not in color.

It's a tough sell. This isn't bad, though Sarsgaard is seriously airbrushed.

HI there - long time reader of this blog, first time poster.

Saw this last night at a screening - and it was incredible. Absolutely incredible. The finest ensemble performance I have seen in years - Carey Mulligan is stunning - the direction assured and wonderfully subtle and the script is pitch-perfect; a masterclass in screenwriting.

The brilliance of this movie really cannot be overstated (please forgive the hyperbole!!!).

Peter Sarsgaard looks like he has borrowed Christina Aguilera's contact lenses. He looks as creepy as hell.

From the first moment, this poster reminded me of another movie, with Diane Lane and Viggo instead...
