Tagline: "An ordinary high school day. Except that it's not."

Length: 81 minutes
MPAA Rating: R for disturbing violent content, language, brief sexuality and drug use - all involving teens

Winner of the Palme d'Or at Cannes, this hard-hitting English-language drama was written, directed, and edited by Gus Van Sant. Plotless and featuring few recognizable actors, the film chronicles a fictional day at a typical American high school in Oregon. Although the day at first seems ordinary, things take a tragic turn when two students go on a shooting rampage reminiscent of the one that occurred at Columbine in Colorado.
