\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

In a highly distinguished acting career Ben Kingsley<\/strong><\/a> has played a wide range of characters in films such as Ghandi<\/a> (for which he won an Oscar), Bugsy<\/a>, Schindler’s List<\/a>, Death and the Maiden<\/a> and Sexy Beast<\/a>.<\/p>\n

His latest is Elegy<\/strong><\/a>, an adaptation of the Philip Roth<\/a> novel The Dying Animal<\/a>, directed by Isabel Coixet<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In it he plays David Kepesh, a cultural critic who forms a relationship with a younger woman (Pen\u00e9lope Cruz) and is gradually forced to confront his attitudes to relationships and intimacy.<\/p>\n
