I like how the ordinary conventions of romantic close-ups are literally turned upside down in this intimate moment on the poster for An Education. Like Danny said in the comments yesterday, Carey Mulligan “makes a lot of the adults look like they are the inexperienced ones.” Not only does the poster suggest Peter Sarsgaard’s David is head over heels for Jenny, the composition also makes clear it’s the ingenue who confronts life with a straightforward gaze.
