Review of Elegy

Elegy (I) (2008)
I saw
12 September 2008
Once I am watching a brainless comedy, twice I am into some deep alien adventures, trice I watch a drama called "Elegy".

It is not the plot that attracts people to this film, since it is not that special and you could even guess some of the twists in a story. Yet it is still very thought-provoking, and sometimes even worth a nice little cry. The problems discussed here.. Relations between lovers, father and son communication, listening to other people advice and being good enough for something. That's only to name a few, but trust me, I know a good film if it has a lot of problems in it.

The characters.. Ben Kingsley is a far away in the road on this one, he has a reputation set through various Oscar-worthy performances, and this is one of those. His companion, Penelope Cruz, I have never thought that actually she can look that lovely, and that she looks way better with clothes on than without them. I was still pleased to see a naked body at some point of the story.

The benefits that I got from "Elegy" are a few. I was able to mention a film to my friend, I had a great evening and my mind was settled with bunch of ideas. Would you like to feel the same with your head?
