Elephant
Directed by Gus Van Sant
Running Time: 81 minutes
Certificate: 15
In Brief
A totally minimalist take on the school shooting phenomena, Gus Van Sant’s film forsakes convention for ultra-realism. ... With obvious allegories to the Columbine tragedy, will ‘Elephant’ mange to explain such seemingly senseless actions, or just rub fresh salt into old wounds?
Review
Almost 5 years since the earth-shattering event at Columbine High School in which thirteen attendees were gunned down by two of their fellow students, and America is still feeling the repercussions. ... While ‘Elephant’ never categorises itself as such, it is obvious that this is Gus Van Sant’s attempt at recreating the incident.
