Staff Pick: An Elephant Sitting Still

CLUB 18+234 min

Marta's Take: “Grey like the elephant, slow and contemplative observation that captures the existential despair and the longing for escape like nothing else"

In the northern Chinese city of Manzhouli, they say there is an elephant that simply sits and ignores the world. Manzhouli becomes an obsession for the protagonists of this film, a longed-for escape from the downward spiral in which they find themselves.
