1. What kind of Britain is represented? How does it compare to the Britain represented in Passport to Pimlico?
The kind of Britain that is represented in "An Education" seems more sophisticated compared to the Britain in Passsport to Pimlico. In 'An Education' London seemed a lot more prosperous and wealthy, whereas london in PTP was rather more poverty stricken and wild. 
2. Describe the character of Jenny? How far do you think she is a typical British teenager? What might be different about her, if anything?
She's typical in the way that she's naive: similarly to the teenage girls of today. Although, she seems wise beyond her years in the way she talks and acts- she is a very mature and intelligent girl. She seems to think she is a lot older than she is, making her act irrationally and try to fit in with the older, upper class characters, this shows immaturity.   
3. What impression does the film give of Britain if you are a woman? Describe Helen, Jenny's Mother, Jenny's teacher and Jenny in terms of representations of women.
It seems all women other than Jenny feel they are below men (when they stay in the car and let the men take care of business: "you stay there"). It illustrates the genre inequality of the era- Jenny wishes to defy this standard in society.   
4. What representation of British women do they give and can you think of any contemporary examples of similar women in film?


5. Conduct some research into the film, who made it, how was it funded, who directed it?
