Synopsis
In Isabel Coixet's adaptation of the Philip Roth novella "The Dying Animal," Ben Kingsley is superb as an intellectual in lust with the graduate student (Penelope Cruz) who inflames his quiescent love. Though the film is more restrained than its explicit source, it is no less provocative as a poetic meditation on love, sex, and death.
