Review of Elegy (2008) by Lyn — 28 May 2011
I'm fond of talky movies like this -- and of Ben Kingsley -- but was distracted by the contrast between his timeworn hedonist and Penelope Cruz's earnest young beauty. You look from his countenance to hers and you think .
. . "Um . . . really???" Also disliked the corny developments of the denouement. While all the performances were excellent, I did love the supporting work of Dennis Hopper and Patricia Clarkson.
The professor's relationships with those characters actually were more interesting than his obsession with the student with the great face and bod.
