It is also a novel by Philip Roth and adapted by Nicholas Meyer. The same many excellent actors are also based on old and young love as the main line, and there will also be doubts about whether the roles are suitable. But "Elegy" is purer than "The Human Stain" because it is less involved in other issues (such as race), and Ben Kingsley and Penelope Cruz are more than Anthony Hope The combination of Kings and Nicole Kidman (one too old, one too cold) clearly has more of a mutual "sexual" attraction and sparks a lot. In particular, Ben Kingsley's portrayal of characters is simply amazing, and he has never been imagined with such a character.
However, as far as the whole film is concerned, although the progress is natural, there is not much special feeling, because there are many such films, and the works of Philip Roth, who is known as the master of contemporary literature, do not seem to be suitable. Shooting into a movie, the audiovisual results may only be a superficial display.
