 David Kepesh is growing old. He's a professor of literature| a student of American hedonism| and an amateur musician and photographer. When he finds a student
attractive| Consuela| a 24-year-old Cuban| he sets out to seduce her. Along the way| he swims in deeper feelings| maybe he's drowning. She presses him to sort out
what he wants from her| and a relationship develops. They talk of traveling. He confides in his friend| George| a poet long-married| who advises David to grow up and
grow old. She invites him to meet her family. His own son| from a long-ended marriage| confronts him. Is the elegy for lost relationships| lost possibilities| beauty
and time passing| or failure of nerve?
An intelligent, adult, and provocative Philip Roth adaptation that features classy performances, Elegy is never quite the sum of its parts.
