WATCH OUT, GEORGE, HE'S GOT A SCREWDRIVER!
I rewatched Alan Clarke's "Elephant" (available on Dailymotion in 4 parts) - a film that really shocked me when I first saw it on TV in 1989. A film with little or no dialogue and just a hand held camera documenting multiple murders and showing how desensitised and brutalised N.Ireland had become to violence and the mundane nature of the act. Still just as powerful if you can handle it and a document of how grim Belfast was at the end of the 80s:
Superb film, by the end it felt like I'd been dropkicked in the solar plexus. Just unrelenting, unsexy, banal, but with rhythm and a stickiness that keeps you hooked.
