First look at Sundance hit

Trailer For An Education Online

Here's a trailer for the coming-of-age drama **An Education, starring Carey Mulligan and Peter Sarsgaard.

Premiering at this year's Sundance festival to some excitement, it's a fictionalised, names-changed version of journalist Lynn Barber’s unusual memoir, in which as a teenage overachieving schoolgirl she flirts with the London criminal underworld at the risk of her place at Oxford.

It was originally published in the quarterly anthology Granta, but now constitutes the title story in Barber's collection of autobiographical sketches.

The screenplay is by Fever Pitch / High Fidelity author Nick Hornby, and the similarly pitch-hitting cast also includes Rosamund Pike, Alfred Molina, Emma Thompson, and The History Boys' Dominic Cooper.

The director is the Danish Lone Scherfig, whose sole previous English-language outing is the sweetly oddball **Wilbur Wants to Kill Himself **from 2002.

If the trailer looks like a standard period drama with a May-to-December relationship at its centre, rest assured that there is a lot more than that going on, as you'll see when the film is released in October.
