If you loved Scum, try Elephant
A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.
What they share
Theysit in Crime / Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Scum, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Elephant is
Portland, rainy afternoon, lockers slamming. A high school's mundane routine unfolds, two students secretly prepare for a violent act. Gus Van Sant's understated approach makes the ordinary feel ominous.
