   Election (1999) is a dark comedy about a high school election gone awry, where karmic backlash goes back and forth as the guilty are punished for their misdeeds. But while smartly written, it doesn't feature the biting political satire you might expect from the premise. It's nevertheless about the difference between morals and ethics, a question asked early on that is only really answered in the climax. Told through various points of view, including a teacher's, the film gives a novelistic overview of the events, though I think it goes astray in the very long epilogue section, beating The Return of the King in terms of "why hasn't the movie ended yet?". It's too bad it drags its feet to the finish line, because it ran a great race before that. Still worth your time and attention. 2 years 4 months ago
