Plot Summary - Story of a divorced sixty-ish University professor (Ben Kingsley) who starts an affair with a beautiful Cuban student (Penelope Cruz) - - well, he waits 'til the course he's teaching her is over before he makes his move, at his class-end "cocktail party" he hosts for his students. The gal is, as he puts it, "thirty-odd years" younger than he is. He begins to grow jealous of her time away from him - and does stuff like stalk her when she announces she's going out that night to dance at a nightclub with her brother.
Review - This is a quiet, slow, and involving film that I quite liked. It's basically a story about a man feeling his years and unable to commit himself to a long-term relationship with a woman, but it's also a May-December love story that works quite well. Rating - 8/10 stars
