Movie Haiku:Perfect cast headlined by Kinsley as a serial seducer who becomes obsessed with a beautiful young woman (Cruz). Hopper is cast against type as the buddy who seems to walk lightly around the edges of Kinsley’s life, but is actually the one who helps keep him connected. Excellent adaptation of Roth''''''''s novel -- elegant meditation on life, death, beauty & art.
