In Reply to: RE: Withnail and I is a longtime favorite, I will probably never watch An Education again, posted by tunenut on March 21, 2010 at 15:57:20
At best a tragic-comedy.
For me a tragedy.
And an Education is not a drama. On the contrary it is an optimistic story.
No obviously not.
Follow Ups:
however a comedy it assuredly is.
It is replete with comic circumstances and characters, including the uncle's infatuation with "I." This played for big laughs when I saw it in a theater.
On all movie databases, this is classified as a comedy. You may have become insular like Carroll's Humpty Dumpty:
"When I use a word,' Humpty Dumpty said, in rather a scornful tone, `it means just what I choose it to mean -- neither more nor less."

More a drama as a comedy.
Comedie humaine yes!
We will analyze that. Even if we have to wake up uncle Sigmund.
Now I am baffled.
And I saw him twice or on top one more time.
A comedy*.
Never.
* With one possible exception: La Comedie Humaine from old Honore. In hat case I would fully agree.
Now a comedie?
