Over the course of a single, suspenseful day, the troubled lives of four desperate people unfold in this resonant film about the human condition. Achingly elegant and epic, An Elephant Sitting Still is destined to become a landmark of new Chinese cinema, albeit one tainted by tragedy, as the immense talent of Hu Bo is now forever lost due to the young director’s death shortly after the completion of this film.
