Full Of It #271 - Educating Rita (Patreon)

Oh stop it, this is so cute. Educating Rita is a 1983 British drama film starring Julie Walters as a gobby lady who just wants to learn about poetry for some reason. It's one of those films where very little actually happens but it's also wildly poignant, as the brassy and common-as-all-arse Rita faces off with a drunk university tutor played by Michael Caine. When I first saw this, I didn't stop proclaiming, "Wouldn't you simply die without Mahler?" for about a week.
