Elephant VG
Loosely based on the Columbine massacre made four years
after it happened. Is it right to like a
movie based on such a tragedy? Probably
not, but the media is supposed to be
a (slightly skewed) reflection of reality.
Contains several of Gus Van Sant’s signature long takes but fits the
scant 80-minutes. I would’ve liked more
stories but I somehow think it was properly approached with unknown actors to
depict how ordinary lives can become shattered within seconds. Powerful.
Deep. Good stuff. 7/9/2016
