synopsis


Winner of the Palme d'Or and the award for Best Director at the 2003 Cannes Film Festival, Gus Van Sant's Elephant is a powerful experience. Inspired by the tragic events of the Columbine High School shootings, Elephant begins as just another ordinary day at a typical American high school. Students wander in the corridors, classes begin and end. The air is filled with the sound of small talk. Girls gossip and complain about their moms, while out on the football pitch practice comes to a close. For kids like Eli, John, Nate and his girlfriend Carrie, this is their world – as friendly as it is sometimes lonely, as comforting as it can be tough. But their world is about to be torn apart...

not good at all

i find it very hard to believe that a film as boring as this could win the palme d'or. relentlessly boring film about columbine-like shootings in america. most of the film shows kids walking up and down endless corridors in a high school. thats it. monotony in the extreme. you are not missing a thing by not watching this. as for its description of being a powerful film, does not even come close.
