We&#8217;re British!&#8221; (I think that&#8217;s the title &#8211; it&#8217;s been a while.) Anyway, those days are long gone, as we know, and the latest Oscar-worthy import from Blighty is &#8220;An Education,&#8221; a fascinating film that is the subject of the latest POLIWOOD.

It&#8217;s worth the money and time, in this rare instance.
