Isabel Coixet’s Elegy is based on The Dying Animal by one of my favorite authors, Philip Roth, hence the self-evaluation prevalent in its characters and the situations they find themselves in. It is not an uplifting story told within Elegy’s runtime but there is a mature, satisfying journey to be taken with its protagonist and the characters he interacts with. There are very few dramas that share this distinction.
"A sinister cabal of superior writers."
