Elephant

...Gus Van Sant's low-key, blankly devastating, simple account of a day in an American high school which ends as two teenagers murder a number of their schoolfellows and teachers for reasons that will never be clear.

Elephant skal ... ses på grund af dens håndværksmæssige kvaliteter og ikke på grund af sit tematiske fokus.

…might inspire useful discussion and soul-searching among high school students.

...Van Sant gives the audience absolutely zero to cling to; it has the inexorable pull of a bad dream, the kind where you show up for your exam without your pants on, only much, much worse.
