Telluride 2009
THE GOOD, THE BAD & THE UGLY
I loved these films. They made my day:
An Education The BEST film in the festival.
The star – Carey Mulligan – has been receiving a LOT of praise for her work
in this film and all of it is well deserved, although Peter Sarsgaard and
Alfred Molina are pretty darn good as well. A young hard working, motivated
high schooler in England in the 1960s wonders if there might be more to
life than reading English literature and cramming for college. Enter the
“older man” who proceeds to “educate” her in the sometimes brutal realities
of real life.
