Elegy directed by Isabel Coixet

The word elegy means: a mournful poem or song, a lament for the dead. This is a beautiful art film based on the Pulitzer Prize-winner novel 'The dying animal' by Philip Roth. What starts out as desire, possession and lust turns into a most unlikely love story. A New York college professor who fills his time with art, music and literature becomes captivated by the beauty of a young college student. Not only is she physically beautiful but her heart and mind match. Elegy charts their intimate relationship and their transformation as people as their love develops, a love which is incapable of being erased. ' Beauty is what you see, love is what you don't see coming'.
Why the title? I think the end of the film explains this rather well.
