Opening this Friday is a fantastic film called "An Education". It's a coming-of-age story about a teenage girl (Carey Mulligan) in 1960s suburban London and how her life changes after meeting a man nearly twice her age (Peter Sarsgaard). While the entire cast was great, Carey Mulligan's performance was another level. Her work is exceptional, and I believe she's a lock for getting nominated come awards season. Anyway, I recently had a chance to talk with her and you can watch the interview after the jump. She talks about the buzz around the movie and awards, working with Peter Sarsgaard, how she got involved in the project, and she talks about her next project "Wall Street 2". It's a great interview so take a look:

Finally, click here for a review of "An Education" and here's some clips from the film.

Carey Mulligan

• Does she pay attention to the buzz surrounding the movie
• I mention that I think she'll get nominated at the end of the year when awards are announced for movies. What does she think about that
• She talks about how she went right into working with Peter again right after this film on a play. She talks about how it happened
• When she was reading the script, how quickly did she know she wanted to be involved in the film and did she have to fight for the part
