Elephant

2003 | United States | Color | 81 min.

Unfolding on an ordinary high school day filled with class work, football, gossip and socializing, Elephant observes the comings and goings of its characters from a gentle remove. For each of the students, high school is a different experience: stimulating, friendly, traumatic, lonely, difficult. Beautiful and poetic yet deeply disturbing Elephant shows high school life as a complex landscape where the vitality and incandescent beauty of young lives can shift from light to darkness with surreal speed
