Driven by Isabel Coixet’s visually assured and deeply observant direction, Elegy charts the passionate relationship between a celebrated college professor and a young woman 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, Elegy explores the power of beauty to blind, to reveal and to transform.

It's a modern "Lolita", a complex yet entertaining movie.Ben Kingsley makes an incredible acting just as his alongside actress Penelope Cruz which her english are getting better although casting her as hispanic/latin or spanish-speaking woman role is typical and boring.It's nothing new for me to see Penelope baring it all,she done this ever since her spanish-acting early years!
It was sexual but not raw,it was melodramatic enough to keep you guessing what can happen next!
