An Education

Sometimes one is simply crafted out; brain too shot to read or write anything decent or think of a single clever way to pass the day productively. And daytime TV only sinks me further into this sort of stupor.

I played hooky today and went to see a wonderful film. Oh, it spoke to me… based on a novel by Lynn Barber I shall seek out immediately, it tells the story of a canny English girl who risks her chance at an Oxford education on a charming older man… It often fascinates me; the myriad possibilities of life and how choices big & small affect their directions ever after.

Mulligan & Sarsgaard are superb as the central characters, but the supporting cast is equally compelling. Plus the Sixties garb is really quite lovely… hooray for feeling inspired again.
