Elegy
Charismatic professor David Kepesh glories in the pursuit of adventurous female students but never lets any woman get too close. When gorgeous Consuela Castillo enters his classroom, however, his protective veneer dissolves. Her raven-haired beauty both captivates and unsettles him. Even if Kepesh declares her body a perfect work of art, Consuela is more than an object of desire. She has a strong sense of herself and an emotional intensity that challenges his preconceptions. Kepesh's need for Consuela becomes an obsession, but ultimately his jealous fantasies of betrayal drive her away. Shattered, Kepesh faces up to the ravages of time, immersing himself in work and confronting the loss of old friends. Then, two years later, Consuela comes back into his life-with an urgent, desperate request that will change everything.

A very soft-focus take on the book
Superficial, sanitised and romanticised adaptation of Roth's old-man's-fantasy novella. In particular the ending is a dreadful cop out on all fronts. It... read more »

Well acted. Slow storyline!
If it hadn't been for the acting talents of Ben Kingsley and Penelope Cruz, this film wouldn't have made the grade. It was one of those films whose ... read more »

Caribbean Cruz
- 16 May 2011
This week, Penelope Cruz seeks to save her father’s soul and find the fountain of youth in a rejuvenated Pirates of the Caribbean franchise. No matter how that quest turns out or what the critics may say, there is no doubt that On Stranger Tides will be seen by many more people than any of Cruz’s past films – if it does as well as the previous adventures of Jack Sparrow, it could make more than all of her other films put together! Which prompts the question: is that level of... Read more
