Going to see it tomorrow. Can't wait. Has no one here seen it?

Haven't seen it yet myself. Got a positive write up in the new Cineaste, though they thought the film went off the rails a bit in the second half.

Well, that was one heavy film. Great, but depressed the hell out of me. Kingsley turns in a riveting performance. If he doesn't get an Oscar nomination at the very least, he'll be robbed. Cruz was fantastic as well. As was the entire cast actually. I'd give the movie a 9/10 rating.

Penelope Cruz, Dennis Hopper and director Isabek Coixet on Charlie Rose.

No, I haven't seen Elegy...yet. Actually. I'm such a tightwad that I usually wait until new films are on DVD before I see them. I am looking forward to renting this one though. It has a release date of January 13th.

Since we seem to be the only two DVDTalkers interested in this film, I'll be sure to bump this thread in four months to tell you what I thought of it. :)

Oh, and check out my "In Bruges" response to you over in the "Dark Knight" to be re-released thread. |
I saw it a few weeks ago, good movie. I loved the ending although it seemed to end a few times before the actual ending.

Little bump. Penelope Cruz rocks. I'm so glad she won an Oscar because she so consistently brings the goods. This movie was not perfect, but definitely worth a view. Fine, fine acting and a screenplay that has a keen eye on realistic points of view.
