THE PIANO has been a tough act to follow for New Zealand filmmaker Jane Campion. It is sixteen years since the haunting intensity of that Oscar-winning tale and none of Campion’s subsequent films, from The Portrait Of A Lady to In The Cut, have managed to match its artistry or depth of emotion.

A BREEZY adaptation of the Lynn Barber memoir recounting her precocious adolescence in the suburban England of the 1960s, An Education has all the virtues†we have come to expect from a handsomely mounted British production, from the keen-eyed period details to a reliable cast of scene-stealers that includes Emma Thompson, Alfred Molina and Rosamund Pike.
