Elegy
Directed by Isabel Coixet
Produced by Lakeshore Entertainment
A melancholic, intellectually probing portrait of a man's descent into possessive desire and the unraveling of his carefully constructed life through an affair with a younger woman.
Cultural critic David Kepesh finds his life -- which he indicates is a state of "emancipated manhood" -- thrown into tragic disarray by Consuela Castillo, a well-mannered student who awakens a sense of sexual possessiveness in her teacher.
