Product Description

The script for major new film An Education, the story of the bizarre relationship between 1960s teenager Jenny (played by Carey Mulligan) and older man David (Peter Sarsgaard), after she accepts a lift on her way home from music practice one day. Based on Observer journalist Lynn Barber's real-life experience as recounted in her book An Education, the film won the Audience Award for best film at the Sundance Film Festival and tremendous acclaim at the Berlin Film Festival too. It will be released in the UK in October 2009 and promises to be the season's Slumdog Millionaire.

Hornby's charming script is included in An Education: The Screenplay, along with stills from the film and a long introduction in which he wittily describes the process of converting someone's very personal memoir into a hit film.

Nick Hornby's script for An Education 6 April 2010

By Mr. Andrew Hoellering

Format:Paperback

This was an impressive piece of work, given that Nick had only the second chapter of Lynn Barber's book to work with.None of what he writes is padding, which speaks both for his imagination and a lot of hard graft and revision.
The principles for writing a film script are similar to those of a TV report.
Words should serve to enhance images, and the fewer the number of words used, the better.
Hornby engages the reader throughout, which is one reason that the film was such a success.
Andrew Hoellering
