Worth Watching - Aug 20: Red Band Elegy Trailer
August 20, 2008

by Alex Billington
Our friends from ComingSoon have debuted another full trailer for Isabel Coixet's Elegy starring Ben Kingsley, Penélope Cruz, Patricia Clarkson, Dennis Hopper, and Peter Sarsgaard. There's actually nothing red band about this trailer, but watch it at your own will. I really love the way this trailer is put together: great music, wonderful photography, Ben Kingsley's voiceover, great storytelling. It feels like another indie festival film, obviously, but something that I'll see in theaters and thoroughly enjoy for its filmmaking. Is there Oscar buzz already? I don't think so, but I haven't talked to many who have seen it yet. I definitely suggest watching this trailer, you might be surprised by how good it looks.
Watch the red band trailer for Elegy:
Elegy charts the passionate relationship between a celebrated college professor (Kingsley) and a young woman (Cruz) whose beauty both ravishes and destabilizes him. As their intimate connection transforms them—more than either could imagine—a charged sexual contest evolves into an indelible love story.
Elegy is directed by Spanish filmmaker Isabel Coixet, of Things I Never Told You, Those Who Love, My Life Without Me, and The Secret Life of Words previously. The screenplay was written by Nicholas Meyer, of Fatal Attraction, The Informant, and The Human Stain, and was adapted from Philip Roth's novel "The Dying Animal". The film premiered at the Berlin Film Festival in February and also played at the Tribeca Film Festival. Samuel Goldwyn Films is debuting Elegy in limited theaters starting on August 8th.

How is that red band? Anyway, a great trailer, it reminds me a lot of Venus, but will probably do better because of increased publicity and Ben Kingsley. Perhaps this movie will renew my like of Penenlope Cruz as well.

"How is that red band?" When was the last time you saw a green band with a flash of female nipple and the word "fucking?"

I haven't seen any of Ben Kingsley's work except House of Sand and Fog with Jennifer Connelly, and I think he was amazing in that. I'll check this one out sometime, most likely when it comes to DVD (because I only go to theaters for comic book movies these days).

I couldn't take that much emotional drama for 2 hrs
but the trailer is exquisitely beautiful.

#7 Actually, I saw the film in the movie listings an it's 2hr 13min to be exact.
The film looks good and I'd probably check it out (since I like balancing the blockbusters I go see with a good indie film).
As for the trailer, I think people are too used to red band trailers having gratuitous R-rated content (that red band trailer for Choke comes to mind).

I have felt Cruz's boobies before and they weren't works of art like he describes them.

I saw this movie last week and LOVED it. It made me cry… more than once. It's not as cliche or cheesy as you might be led to believe.
Oh, and why is it red band? NIPPLE!!
