The Prime Minister escorted his wife and Penelope Cruz to the pre-first night of the new Isabel Coixet film, 'Elegy'.
The Spanish Prime Minister, José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero, celebrated the first day of the new parliamentary legislature by going to the cinema with his wife, Sonsoles Espinosa, and Penelope Cruz. The three went to see a pre-opening night at the Capitol Cinema in the capital of the new Isabel Coixet film ‘Elegy’. The session attracted many other stars from the Spanish cinema.

The film, which stars Ben Kingsley and Penelope Cruz, has been exciting critics and is an adaptation of the Philip Roth novel, ‘Dying Animal’, which reflects on a love which is born moribund as it comes out of the fear of getting old. In the film, cultural critic David Kepesh finds his life thrown into tragic disarray by Consuela Castillo, a well-mannered student who awakens a sense of sexual possessiveness in her teacher.
