If you loved The Riot Club, try An Education

A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.

What An Education is

Suburban London, 1960s, a tweed jacket. A naive teenager meets a charismatic older man in a sports car, introducing her to a world of jazz clubs and high culture. Lone Scherfig frames adolescent desire with nuance.
