IMDB Listing (http://uk.imdb.com/title/tt0363589/)

"Gus Van Sant's "Elephant" is a record of a day at a high school like Columbine, on the day of a massacre much like the one that left 13 dead. It offers no explanation for the tragedy, no insights into the psyches of the killers, no theories about teenagers or society or guns or psychopathic behavior. It simply looks at the day as it unfolds, and that is a brave and radical act; it refuses to supply reasons and assign cures, so that we can close the case and move on."

Very weird film. Different for British Audiences who didn't have to deal with Columbine. Anywhere between 5/10 and 9/10. I'm not sure.
