The Delicate Art of the Rifle

1996 • Directed by

Dante Harper

Comedy, Drama

History is not a bullet

A surrealistic comedy-drama about a school shooting as seen through the eyes of a socially awkward college student named Jay. Walt Whitman, the shooter, is loosely based on Charles Whitman, but the film is not in any way a factual account of the 1966 shootings at the University of Texas.
