The new film “Elegy” is based on a novella by Philip Roth; it’s about a cultural critic whose life is thrown into disarray when he becomes romantically involved with one of his students. Isabel Coixet is the director; Patricia Clarkson co-stars. It opens today at the Angelika and Lincoln Plaza Cinemas.

Leonard,
Another great interview. Good taste as well to pick this film. Can't wait to see it.

Coixet is a fantastic director! The Secret Life of Words was great, and her contribution to Paris Je T'aime was my favorite in the movie. Looking forward to seeing Elegy...
