The Elephant Man

Synopsis

David Lynch lends his magic visual touch to this biopic of John Merrick, an Englishman whose deformities caused him to be seen as a freak and exhibited for pay. Nominated for eight Academy Awards®, the film stars John Hurt in a career-defining performance as Merrick, with Anne Bancroft, Anthony Hopkins, and John Gielgud.
