Elegy
DramaRomance
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.
VIBE
A deeply felt, adult drama about the consuming nature of desire. It's a film that lingers, exploring the intoxicating and destructive power of attraction with a raw, unflinching intensity.
