Filmmaker joined Lachman and critic and author Adriana Prodeus on a post-screening panel and Q&A session. He arranged for Elephant to be screened at Camerimage in Bydgoszcz. The independent distributor KimStim is releasing An Elephant Sitting Still theatrically beginning March 9.ĭynamic cinematography by Fan Chao helped bring the movie to the attention of Ed Lachman ( Far From Heaven, Carol), who saw it at Berlin and at last year’s New Directors/New Films. But it remains one of the most striking films of its time, distinguished by exceptional writing, directing and acting. The movie’s running time, difficult subject matter and troubled production have left an air of controversy around Elephant. Interlocking narratives follow a bullied high school student, an elderly parent pressured to move into a nursing home, a gangster who must avenge an attack on his brother and a girl’s illicit relationship with a married teacher. Nearly four hours long, the movie unfolds over the course of a day in and around a blue-collar housing development in a third-tier Chinese town. The debut feature from writer and director Hu Bo, An Elephant Sitting Still, caused a sensation when it screened at the 2018 Berlinale.
