Description
John Hurt stars as John Merrick, aka the elephant man, in this biographical drama directed by David Lynch. Brutalised in childhood for his deformities, Merrick has been ostracised throughout his life. When he is discovered by Doctor Frederick Treves (Anthony Hopkins) in Victorian London, Merrick is finally treated with the kindness and intelligence he deserves. Unfortunately, by awakening his true character the problems continue, for he can never lead a normal life.


Director David Lynch's striking black-and-white drama tells the emotional true story of John Merrick (named Joseph in real life), whose monstrous skull and hideous deformities cast him as a freak known as "the Elephant Man" in Victorian London. John Hurt shines in the title role, and Anthony Hopkins is the compassionate doctor who helps Merrick to be seen as the kind and intelligent man he truly is. With Anne Bancroft, John Gielgud, Wendy Hiller. 123 min. Widescreen (Enhanced); Soundtrack: English. Three-disc set. Region Free
