"Hu Bo's only feature, "An Elephant Sitting Still" quickly resonated with film lovers worldwide and found it's place in the cinematic canon. This 4 hour intimate excursion through pain and suffering is one of the most beautiful movies I've ever seen and is an unequivocal masterpiece. Immersive cinematography and Buddhist philosophy elevate this film to a transcendent level along the ranks of Tarkovsky, Bergman, Fellini, Malick, Tarr, or Weerasethakul. It is undeniably heart-wrenching and gloomy, yet it is rewarding, honest, and an experience that will long escape your mind."
