You`re Over the Hill Right Now and You`re Looking for Love
The first time I saw Elegy I was mildly appalled of the inside look or rather stream of consciousness of David Kepesh`s (Ben Kingsley) inner mind. I could only really see him as a disappointing, emotionally immature letch.

However, when I saw the film again about a year later, I was more aware of this man`s complete lack of faith in himself outside of his professional sphere. Essentially, he has really low self-esteem and is always afraid of what others are thinking about him and his being an old man with a young woman. This creates such intense anxiety that he sabotages his love life rather than "feel the fear and do it anyway."

Penelope Cruz is fantastic as the intoxicating beauty and you can understand how David becomes obsessed with her. Also stars Patricia Clarkson, Peter Saarsgard as his son, and Dennis Hopper as his cheating friend and colleague.
