I just watched an amazing movie called "Battle Royale".  I'm not positive but I think when the movie went to the States the name got changed to (I think) "Suicide Club". However...its not really about suicide so much as it is about killing people...unless you find some poetic suicide type meaning from it...which I didn't find.

Its an amazingly violent story that parallels High School life in Japan.  In Japan students spend one year in the same class with the same other 40 students.  Every class also has their own assigned teacher.  In the movie a specific class of 40 students is abducted to an island and the teacher comes out to tell the students that essentially they have to kill each other and that only one student can survive. ... oh ya... its violent.  But it is tragically beautiful...I don't really even know why.
