Educating Rita
1983
A working-class Liverpool woman enrols in an Open University literature course, forming an unlikely bond with her witty but disillusioned tutor as she seeks education and a new sense of self. The film is a warm and witty adaptation of Willy Russell's stage play, exploring class, ambition, and personal transformation.
