...Education” asks all the right questions but yields too few answers to satiate the promises of its brilliant first three-quarters. When Jenny and David go to Paris together, the film temporarily drops all its weight and scrawls a breathless love letter to the city and the good looks of the protagonists. The conclusion—which should either re-pose the film’s questions or provide some answers—conveniently forgets them, summarizing the next four years of Jenny’s life in a clichéd voice-over that almost kills...
True, the treaty does propose the creation of a historical commission that will look into the events of WWI. Yet Armenians fear that the events will be watered down, and they have legitimate right to be suspicious. Even the U.S. and Turkey went through a rough patch last year because of the issue, and Turkish officials are still reluctant to call the massacre a genocide.

They note the younger Sarkozy ran for office in the same cushy, staunchly conservative Paris suburb that has served as his father's political fiefdom for more than 20 years. The right's lock on the area, they argue, means Jean's subsequent election as president of the conservative group in regional council was simply the work of officials loyal to Nicolas Sarkozy seeking to boost his son's career. That rightist domination within EPAD, opponents say, will similarly produce a pro forma election of Jean by people who view him as the second...
