Cinema Society held a screening of the new film “Elegy” co-hosting with Glamour magazine’s Editor-in-Chief Cindi Leive at the Tribeca Grand.
The film, based on Philip Roth’s novella "The Dying Animal," charts the passionate relationship between a celebrated college professor (played by Ben Kingsley) and a young woman (played by Penelope Cruz) whose beauty both ravishes and destabilizes him. Cruz and her co-stars Dennis Hopper, Peter Sarsgaard, Patricia Clarkson, and Debbie Harry, along with director Isabel Coixet, were all on hand for the screening and the party which followed at Socialista. The crowd loved it. Cruz (who also graces Glamour’s cover this month) is extraordinarily beautiful and Hopper turns in a performance that left people mesmerized.
Cindi Lieve and Cinema Society’s Andrew Saffir greeted the dazzled and dazzling crowd that included Laurence Fishburne, Gerard Butler, Alan Cumming, George Lopez, Michael Imperioli, Eric Mabius (“Ugly Betty”), Michael Pitt, Eva Amurri, Olivia Thirlby, Carla Gugino, Salman Rushdie, Charlie Rose, Donna Karan, Calvin Klein, Tory Burch, Robert Benton, Paul Blackthorne (“Lipstick Jungle”), Jurnee Smollett (“The Great Debaters”), Zoe Kravitz, Nicole Miller, Guy Oseary, David Blaine, Peter Brant, Amy Sacco, Cynthia Rowley, Kelly Bensimon, Sante D’Orazio, Keira Chaplin, Mick Rock, Charlotte Ronson, Alex Lundqvist, Maggie Rizer, Stefano Tonchi, Daniel Benedict, Helen and Tim Schifter, Linda Fargo, Derek Blasberg, Olivia Palermo, Ann Dexter-Jones, Lakeshore Entertainment’s Tom Rosenberg and David Dinerstein, Nicholas Meyer (screenwriter), and producers Gary Lucchesi and Eric Reid. |
