‘An Elephant Sitting Still’ – what can be said about this masterpiece? At 3 hours 50 minutes it’s not something one can rush through. It requires patience and empathy from the viewer. There’s no way any normal moviegoer will not find it boring and dull at times but that’s where you’ve gotta find that right mood and environment to really appreciate this gem. This is definitely an acquired taste.

I am a huge fan of movies that deal with inner torment and involve the viewer’s absolute trust and surrender. Cries and Whispers, Ida, Mouchette, Stray, The Piano Teacher, In My Father’s Den are some of my favourites when it comes to this type of cinema and now ‘An Elephant Sitting Still’ can be added to this list as well.

Sad to know that the director is no more. R.I.P. and thank you for sending this message out to the world.

Really great and very depressing.
It might be slow, but not boring. Plus, when it picks up, it really picks up. It’s beautifuly directed and it’s hard to take your eyes away from it.

I love the atmosphere of this film. It all feels wierdly familiar. I can feels the cold air. I can smell the environment. The closing scenes in particular I think will evoke an odd sense of nostalgia in a lot of people. The fact that almost every scene is shot in long takes makes it even more immersive.

It can drag quite a bit at times. With a runtine of almost four hours and a pace so slow it would make Andrei Tarkovsky jealous, it was always going to drag, but it never stops being completely entrancing and heartbreaking.

This is a must-watch.
