Elephant (1989)


A depiction of a series of violent killings in Northern Ireland with no clue as to exactly who is responsible. 

This is a short movie filmed for television and directed by Alan Clarke, the man behind Scum and other no nonsense dramas. He delivers yet another hard hitting semi documentary as we journey around with various Terrorists and victims on an endless campaign of murder in Northern Ireland. Very simple, yet the experience of watching it forces the viewer to feel the same emotion as if they were looking at the country's mindless violence from the inside; you want it to stop.
