Description
Driven by Isabel Coixet’s visually assured and deeply observant direction, Elegy charts the passionate relationship between a celebrated college professor (Ben Kingsley) and a young woman (Penélope Cruz) whose beauty both ravishes and destabilizes him. As their intimate connection transforms them—more than either could imagine—a charged sexual contest evolves into an indelible love story. With humanistic warmth, wry wit and erotic intensity, the drama explores the power of beauty to blind, to reveal and to transform. Co-starring Dennis Hopper, Patricia Clarkson and Peter Sarsgaard. Based on Pulitzer Prize-winner Philip Roth’s short novel The Dying Animal. From the director of My Life Without Me.
