An Elephant Sitting Still (Chinese: 大象席地而坐), HuBo, 2018

Um dos melhores filmes que vi em 2018, a seu tempo no Festival Indie de Lisboa, e que voltei a rever recentemente. Um filme entre o trágico e o vazio, entre a deriva e o nada. Uma espécie de poema visual e existencial sobre as penumbras de um conjunto de pessoas que procuram um elefante meio-real-meio-mítico, que pratica a difícil arte de estar sentado indiferente a tudo. Como nós...
