Watch An Education

A totally different British High School drama, written by Nick Hornby.
Learn the word misery-lit (in The Guardian review).
Also learn that it's based on the true story of Lynn Barber (Observer writer and interviewer).
This is her in the movie.

And this is the real Lynn in those days.

You can see Lynn Barber getting interviewed in the Guardian series 'My most memorable interviews':  http://gu.com/p/c369
