New Essentials: Elephant - 35MM

Several ordinary high school students go through their daily routine as two others prepare for something more malevolent.

Elephant is a part of The New Essentials Film Series curated by Nicolas Rapold for The Roxy Cinema. It’s a showcase of a time in the 2000’s when many filmmakers were hitting bold and beautiful new highs, often forgotten now—when new directions in international cinema were exploding left and right—and when film, not digital, was still largely the modus operandi.
