Considered a landmark of Chinese cinema, Hu Bo's An Elephant Sitting Still is a furious indictment of the spiritual costs wrought by China's economic boom from the perspective of those at the bottom. Taking place over a single day in an unnamed industrial city, the film's interlocking narratives paint a portrait of a society marked by selfishness. Winner Best Film Golden Horse Awards.
