Description:
This film was made for British television in 1988, the last film by it’s controversial creator Alan Clarke. There’s no story here at all. Set in Northern Ireland, the film depicts a series of seemingly random killings.

Described as "The single, most radical, television film ever made, both politically and ascetically!", Elephnt is shot entirely on location with completely unknown actors. The film is quite disturbingly realistic. There is almost no dialogue in the film and absolutely no attempt to give the film any kind of context. The movie features long-tracking shots following the murderers before they reach their victim.

The casualness of the brutality and the haunting images linger for a long time after the end credits roll. From a Belfast IMDB member who actually lived throught the events:

"I notice nobody actually from Northern Ireland seems to have commented on this… I grew up in Belfast through some of the worst of the troubles (and have been personally affected by the actions of both loyalist and republican terrorists) and I have to say that for me this film is pretty much it in a nutshell. The desensitising effect mentioned by some of the other comments is precisely what happens in real life; the fact that stuff blows up occasionally and every so often someone gets shot dead eventually starts to just become part of the scenery. I’ve lost count of the number of times I saw people walking through Belfast stop in their tracks for a second or two as a bomb was detonated nearby then just continue on their way. You learn to live with it, and that’s the real horror, which I think is something Clarke portrays here with an extraordinary degree of empathy. Possibly some of it’s because so many of the places in the film were so familiar to me but it really hit home in a way that no other film explicitly about Northern Ireland has ever done."
