“Now I’m very vulnerable to female beauty… Everybody’s defenseless against something, and that’s it for me. I see it and it blinds me to everything else.” These are the words of David Kepesh, the central character of Elegy, a film about a womanizing professor and his relationship with an emotionally mature female student.

Kepesh has a deep appreciation for aesthetics – he has impeccable taste and has managed to construct a life filled with elegance. When Consuela enters his classroom, she disrupts this well-planned life. His encounter with her paralyzes him, as he’s confronted with the gravity of a real connection. Elegy is a brilliant examination of beauty and its ability to both blind and transform. Click Read More for additional information and photos. Watch the trailer for Elegy.
