45th Anniversary 4K Restoration!
In one of his most moving films, David Lynch chronicles the intense emotional journey of a complex, lonely man and the dedicated surgeon who changed his life. John Merrick (John Hurt) was born with a disfiguring congenital disease, and suffered the humiliation of being a sideshow freak. Only when London doctor Frederick Treves (Anthony Hopkins) rescues him does Merrick begin to regain the life of dignity and respect that everyone deserves. Based on a true story, THE ELEPHANT MAN was nominated for eight Oscars, and confirmed David Lynch’s status as a visionary filmmaking talent. Anne Bancroft, John Gielgud and Wendy Hiller lend moving performances to an already powerful story. Visually fascinating and historically relevant, THE ELEPHANT MAN is a haunting masterpiece of compassion, beauty and humanity.
This new 4K restoration from the original camera negative was overseen by David Lynch.
