Photo Updates

Right now Elegy is in many select theatres. Penélope Cruz plays Consuela Castillo and is also getting rave reviews for her performance. I thought I would make today’s update all about the film and post a big batch of pictures. I think Penélope looks ravishing in this film, it’s probably one of my top film ‘looks’ of hers ever! I hope you enjoy the gorgeous images!

From Roger Ebert
And then — the movie takes a dramatic turn, which I will not reveal, even though it contains all the deepest emotions and real feelings of the story. And in these scenes, Cruz is quietly powerful and very true. You understand why the Spanish director, Isabel Coixet, chose Cruz instead of, say, a 19-year-old. An actress needs depth and the experience of life to play these scenes, and Cruz has them.
