Elegy (2008)

A college professor in his late 50s (I’m guessing) embarks on an affair with a gorgeous student.  He falls hard for her and she seems to reciprocate. There’s no real reason for this love affair to go poorly, but it does -- jealousy and fear undermine it from the beginning. It’s a melancholy meditation with some thought-provoking moments, but I believe the novel must be more satisfying (it's based on a Philip Roth story). There didn’t seem to be quite enough focus for a film.

B-
