'Elysian Fields': Gigolo Story Stuck in Low Gere

The Washington Post | October 18, 2002| | Copyright

Mick Jagger delivers a sly, courtly, utterly captivating performance in "The Man From Elysian Fields." In fact, the Rolling Stones frontman may be a bit dismayed that the movie is being released in tandem with the band's latest tour; his silky portrayal of an older gent wistfully considering all he's missed is at total odds with his iconic role as rock's oldest bad boy (or, if you prefer, baddest old boy).

Jagger's is only one of many superb performances in this deeply atmospheric film, which stars Andy Garcia as a failed novelist who, to make ends meet, begins to work as a male escort. In ...
