Questions on 'An Education'

Discuss these questions in groups, refer to your notes from last lesson and respond in a new post, as a group. Don't forget to label your blog with the names of the people in your discussion group.

1. What kind of Britain is represented? How does it compare to the Britain represented in Passport to Pimlico?

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?

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.

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?
