Directed by Isabel Coixet
Rated R
Without looking, I'd say that love stories are probably the most common types of movies. That's because they can be disguised as any number of things, from musicals to murder mysteries. So to see one - a smart one, no less - that has no other pretense but to be an investigation of how a relationship works or doesn't work is a bit like walking a high wire without a net. I mean, Transformers has a love story in it.
Elegy is, for better or worse, about two people who fall in love while not meaning to. David (Sir Ben Kingsley) is a professor and art and literature critic. He was married once when he was a young man, left his wife and child because that life was not for him, and has never been in a deep relationship since.
