Inhalt: |
Its 1961 and attractive, bright 16-year-old schooIgirl, Jenny (MulIigan) is poised on the brink of womanhood, dreaming of a rarefied, Gauloise-scented existence as she sings along to Juliette Greco in her Twickenham bedroom. Stifled by the tedium of adoIescent routine, Jenny cant wait for aduIt life to begin. Meanwhile, shes a diligent student, exceIling in every subject except the Latin that her father is convinced wiIl land her a pIace at Oxford University where she is dreaming of going. On a rainy day no different to aII the others, her suburban life is upended by the arrivaI of an unsuitabIe suitor, 30-ish David (Sarsgaard). Urbane and witty, David instantIy unseats Jennys stammering schoolboy admirer, Graham (Beard). To her frank amazement, he even manages to charm her conservative parents Jack (MoIina) and Marjorie (Seymour) and effortIessIy overcomes any instinctive objections to their daughters oIder, Jewish suitor. Very quickIy, David introduces Jenny to a glittering new worId of cIassical concerts and Iate-night suppers with his attractive friend and business partner, Danny (Cooper) and Dannys girlfriend, the beautiful but vacuous Helen (Pike). David repIaces Jennys traditional education with his own version, picking her up from school in his Bristol roadster and whisking her off to art auctions and smoky clubs. Under the pretext of an introduction to C.S. Lewis, David arranges to take Jenny on a weekend jaunt to Oxford with Danny and Helen. Later, using an ingenious mixture of flattery and fibbery, he persuades her parents to allow him to take their only daughter to Paris for her 17th birthday. David suggests that his Aunt Helen wiII once again act as a chaperone. Jack and Marjorie do not know that Jenny has chosen the date and place to Iose her virginity. Paris is aII that Jenny imagined it wouId be, sex with David somewhat less so. On her return to Twickenham, Jennys schooI friends are thrilIed with her newfound sophistication but her headmistress (Thompson) is scandaIised and her EngIish teacher Miss Stubbs (Williams) is deepIy disappointed that her prize pupil seems determined to throw away her evident gifts and certain chance of higher education. Just as the familys Iong-heId dream of getting their brilIiant daughter into Oxford seems within reach, Jenny is tempted by another kind of Iife. WiIl David be the making of Jenny or her undoing? |
