Album Description
The Education score is by Paul Englishby. It features 'Smoke Without Fire' performed by Duffy 'Your Heart Is As Black As Night' performed by Melody Gardot and 'J'ai Deux Amours' performed by Madeleine Peyroux. The movie is set in 1960s London, Jenny (Carey Mulligan) is a bright 17 year old preparing to go to Oxford. After she meets a much older man (Peter Saarsgard) who smoothly romances her with flattery, stories and weekends in Paris, Jenny abandons her University plans, to the horror and consternation of her hard working father (Alfred Molina) and a teacher (Emma Thompson). Jenny must come of age and decide what is her real education. Soundtrack is by noted composer Paul Englishby (Miss Pettigrew Lives for A Day) and includes recognizable 60s pop songs performed by Ray Charles, Mel Torme, Juliette Greco and Percy Faith. Duffy will perform a new song written exclusively for this film. An Education is based on the novel by Nick Hornby (High Fidelity, About A Boy) and is directed by Lone Scherfig. An Education received critical acclaim this past year when it debuted at the Sundance Film Festival, as well as at the Berlin Film Festival. It opens in the U.S. on October 9 followed by releases in Europe and Australia. |

Great movie with great music by John Stodder (livin' just enough)  5 Stars
November 14, 2009
Hey, Amazon! "An Education" is not based on a novel by Nick Hornby. It's a screenplay by Nick Hornby based on a memoir -- a factual story, not a novel -- by the writer Lynn Barber. Moreover, Jenny's abandonment of her university plans is NOT meant with consternation by her father. I won't spoil the movie by saying what his reaction is, but your summary is incorrect on a pretty crucial plot point.
I don't own the CD, but I intend to buy it based on how much I enjoyed the music in the film. The original soundtrack material is wonderful, especially the opening theme, but you will also enjoy Mel Torme, Ray Charles, Vince Guaraldi, Madeleine Peyroux and the new song by Duffy that runs over the credits. Very strong.
