Movie Plot Back to top

When gorgeous Consuela Castillo enters the classroom of charismatic professor David Kepesh, his protective veneer dissolves. Her raven-haired beauty both captivates and unsettles him. Kepesh's need for Consuela becomes an obsession, but ultimately his jealous
fantasies of betrayal drive her away. Shattered, Kepesh faces up to the ravages of time, immersing himself in work. Then two years later, Consuela comes back into his life - with an urgent, desperate request that will change everything.

Amazing Acting

Well-acted and well-written. And surprisingly hilarious. Penelope Cruz, as always, delivers another Oscar-worthy performance. And it's nice finally Ben Kingsley back to the screen again. Unfortunately some parts are too draggy thus the film loses chance to be nominated on its screenplay. And apparently, nudity plays a key role in this movie.
