Elephant (1989)

Posted on 04:49 by uthpa
Essential Viewing
UK
Short Television Film
Director: Alan Clarke
Writer: Bernard MacLaverty
Cinematographers: Philip Dawson, John Ward

Alan Clarke presents us with a series of sectarian killings in Northern Ireland – stripped of politics, rhetoric, history, context, and team colours – leaving us with their very essence – casually brutal murder, in this devastating, plotless masterpiece, in which death is accompanied only by the sound of life whirring gently by in the form of cars passing, dogs barking, lifts traversing, and footsteps echoing.
