Elegy

While a well-respected Columbia university professor (Ben Kingsley) over analyzes his passionate and intense relationship with a much younger, gorgeous Cuban student (Penélope Cruz) to himself and to his longtime, adulterous best friend (Dennis Hopper) as he becomes more afraid as he falls more in love with her in this superbly acted, touching, engaging film based on Philip Roth's novel The Dying Animal, he uses his dalliances with his free-spirited mistress (Patricia Clarkson) of 20 plus years to hide from his feelings and becomes even further estranged from his married son (Peter Sarsgaard).
