If you loved My Life Without Me, try Elegy

A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.

What they share

Both films are directed by Isabel Coixet, and they both carry the bittersweet, tender mood tags, and they sit in Drama / Romance territory. If that's the register that drew you to My Life Without Me, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Elegy is

A rare indie that treats sexual tension among adults as something other than a midlife crisis in progress. Cultural critic David Kepesh begins an affair with his composed student Consuela, unraveling his carefully curated detachment. The film mistakes repression for depth, but at least the lighting stays moody.
