DISGRACE

DESCRIPT:
AT FIFTY-TWO, PROFESSOR DAVID LURIE IS DIVORCED, FILLED WITH DESIRE, BUT LACKING IN PASSION. AN AFFAIR WITH ONE OF HIS STUDENTS LEAVES HIM JOBLESS, SHUNNED BY HIS FRIENDS, AND RIDICULED BY HIS EX-WIFE. HE RETREATS TO HIS DAUGHTER LUCY'S ISOLATED SMALLHOLDING, WHERE A BRIEF VISIT BECOMES AN EXTENDED STAYAS HE TRIES TO FIND MEANING FROM THIS ONE REMAINING RELATIONSHIP. DAVID'S ATTEMPTS TO RELATE TO LUCY AND TO A SOCIETY WITH NEW RACIAL COMPLEXITIES ARE DISRUPTED BY AN AFTERNOON OF VIOLENCE THAT SHAKES ALL HIS BELIEFS AND THREATENS TO DESTROY HIS DAUGHTER.
