Despite its melancholia and tonal rigor, An Elephant Sitting Still exudes so much elegance, frame precision and ingenuity. Hu Bo's first and last feature is destined to have a place in cinema.

Rating: 3.5/4 --
While circumstances are claustrophobic and stifling, Bo's movie seems to balance that with strange and surreal impulses of the heart.

Rating: 4/5 --
If you do not, at least once across the running time, think to yourself, "why is it so LONG?", the film is not doing its job properly.

Alternate Ending
Rating: 3.5/4 --
It's as if the film was conjured from thin air, gorgeous, elemental, and tortured; Hu's consciousness made manifest and brought into being by sheer force of will.

From the Front Row
[Hu] has given us a triumph of bold sociopolitical critique and intimate human portraiture, and a reminder that you rarely encounter the one without the other.

An act of solemn, disciplined and passionate protest.

I wanted to connect with it, but I am the monster who could not get into the four-hour tragic movie.

Product Description:
The late writer-director Hu Bo's debut feature film unfolds over the course of a single day. Four disillusioned residents of a bleak northern Chinese city fixate on the story of an elephant in a zoo in Manzhouli who sits motionless and refuses to eat each day, enigmatically indifferent to the fact of its own existence.
