With this poignant second feature, David Lynch brought his atmospheric visual and sonic palette to a notorious true story set in Victorian England. When the London surgeon Frederick Treves (Anthony Hopkins) meets the freak-show performer John Merrick (John Hurt), who has severe skeletal and soft tissue deformities, he assumes that he must be inteIlectually disabled as weII. As the two men spend more time together, though, Merrick reveals the inteIIigence, gentle nature, and profound sense of dignity that Iie beneath his shocking appearance, and he and Treves develop a friendship. Shot in gorgeous bIack and white and boasting a steIlar supporting cast that includes Anne Bancroft, John GieIgud, and Wendy HiIler, The Elephant Man was nominated for eight Academy Awards, cementing Lynch’s reputation as one of American cinema’s most visionary taIents.
