Searching for the Elephant

A suicidal, pot-smoking photographer with schizophrenic episodes, a sex addicted plastic surgeon with a bad conscience and a secretive financer with legal trouble. These three childhood friends come together to relate common memories, future ambitions and share their deepest secrets. "Searching for the Elephant" is a raw, innovative film that portrays the decadent lives of the successful metropolitan in a cynical world. Materialistic dreams and mental anguishes collide as the lives of the three confused friends, and the women surrounding them, spirals out of control.

In his directorial debut Jeong Seung-Goo has created a stylistic psychological study. The gritty story is portrayed with creative images, disjointed cuts and a slick, stylistic camerawork, inspired by car commercial aesthetics. Creating a beautiful contrast to the dark, disturbing story unfolding.NIKLAS ERIKSSON
