Jean-Paul Civeyrac’s gorgeously shot, black-and-white bildungsroman is a paean to cinephilia. Etienne (Andranic Manet), a working-class kid from Lyon, is studying filmmaking in the capital. Will disillusionment grind him down, or will his new lovers and film friends buoy him up? "With its pared-down aesthetic and naturalistic performances, Education recalls such… classics of French cinema as Jean Eustache’s The Mother and the Whore and Philippe Garrel’s Regular Lovers."—Hollywood Reporter
