If you're not a rabid Oscar watcher or film festival devotee, you may not yet be obsessing over An Education, Lone Scherfig's film that was the hit of Sundance and is poised to be one of the major awards contenders next fall. I haven't seen it yet, so I have no idea how it stands up to the hype, but the publicity campaign is going forward in earnest with the newly revealed one-sheet, posted at Movie City News.
The film, based on Lynn Barber's memoir and adapted by none other than Nick Hornby, stars Carey Mulligan as a 16-year-old girl growing up in 1960s England and starting an affair with an older man (Peter Sarsgaard). The poster doesn't quite capture that whole age-inappropriate thing-- Sarsgaard is Photoshopped within an inch of his life-- but still looks great regardless. Check out a smaller version below.
