Adapted from Philip Roth's novel "The Dying Flesh", the film tells the story of a love story that spans the age gap between David Kopesh and Consula Castillo, who has entered his teens. When she cut off her breast because of breast cancer, he finally felt that he would no longer be anxious. He felt that the two of them were equal and could think of the future. But in my opinion, this is just an excuse for men, equality is not equal, together or apart, it is because of themselves and not because of each other. The film is not only full of sex and emotional entanglement, but also has eye-catching visual effects. The atmosphere of the film is deep and serene, the camera movement is steady, especially David's fantasy passages are shot smoothly and deeply. In the film, Ben Kingsley played the role of David, a very mature and charming character, with ease. With his elegant demeanor and restrained performance, he interprets the prodigal son David as both passionate and resolute.
