Elephant
Inspired by the 1999 shootings at Columbine High School, this stylish, understated drama from Gus Van Sant ("Drugstore Cowboy") depicts a day in the life of several American high school students. With a cast of mostly non-actors and largely improvised dialogue, the film focuses on two outcasts whose insecurities lead them to take drastic and violent action.
