Genre: Drama/Romance
Starring: Ben Kingsley, Penelope Cruz, Dennis Hooper
An aged old man falls in love with someone much younger than him. This is not your stereotypical story of a paedophile, although it sounds like one. David Kepesh, (Kingsley) a literature professor gets attracted towards his student Consuela (Cruz). He confides in his friend George (Hooper) who advices him to stay away from it and to realise that he is a full grown man. However David finds that its not very easy to stay away from Consuela and slowly the duo develop a close and intimate relationship. Having a very simple story, the movie does not go straight to the point and instead takes on an off-beat journey in the main characters' lives. A lazy but watchable movie.
Rating: 7.0/10
