London Suburbs, 1961.
When the Beatles began to achieve success and the girls start to wear a miniskirt, the sixteen year old Jenny (Carey Mulligan) has a little heart desires: the right to attend Letters from Oxford and one day reach the much dreamed of Paris along the Seine smoking Gauloises and bohemian living, but for now be content to hear the songs of Greek Juliette in her bedroom.
Jenny is the first class, is a virtuoso of the cello and his only concern is being able to get good grades in Latin, the only area in which a bit hard '.
On a rainy day, he met David (Peter Sarsgaard), a handsome thirties who offers a ride: Jenny is immediately fascinated and very much involved with David, who began to bring in restaurants by dream jobs wonderful that she had hitherto only dreamed of. Her parents (her father is Alfred Molina, who a few weeks ago I saw in Frida , played the part of Diego Rivera, and the mother is Cara Seymour, I remember in American Psycho and sad Dancer in the Dark ) are fascinated by the ways and gentle persuasion of David, the fact that both rich and dealing with their child as a princess.
But Jenny is uncertain whether and how worthwhile to set aside his studies to truly live the life she always dreamed of coming into conflict with her teacher and the school's principal (played by Emma Thompson, English film that would be otherwise?), representing the face of more conservative ' education. But you can not go to bathroom with David, playboy dandy that leads her to Paris and transforms it into a like Audrey Hepburn, which makes them live a dream life. Why continue studying hard and studying is boring?
The writer Nick Hornby, in his first screenplay based on his book, is based on the memoirs of a journalist, leaving out his favorite themes present in his books, as sports, music culture, to shed light sentimental and sexual education of a girl's passage from the awareness of being a woman.
I must admit I expected a little something more to this movie, but I liked it, especially Carey Mulligan who is my age ... and splits carries on his shoulders the whole movie is really good. He, Peter Sarsgaard, is a plain copy of Ewan McGregor, one could choose a bit 'more handsome and charming for this part, in my humble opinion ...
However, this film will take home some Oscar, I hope you win the statuette for best actress.
