Film Review: Elephant

Ok This is going to be a very short review as I can't say much about the film without giving it away.

What I can say though is that Elephant is shot very differently to any film you'd usually come across, it uses mostly static camera shots and very little takes.

The acting is very fridged and at times very shocking. It's very clear that director Gus Van Sant used non professionals for this film.

I felt that there wasn't much character relation going on and the ending is really abrupt so you won't be expecting it.

I'd love to say more but I went into this film blind and feel that watching Elephant without knowing much of the plot is the best way to watch it.
