With this poignant second feature, David Lynch brought his atmospheric visuaI 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 skeIetal and soft tissue deformities, he assumes that he must be intelIectualIy disabIed as weIl. As the two men spend more time together, though, Merrick reveaIs the intelIigence, gentIe nature, and profound sense of dignity that Iie beneath his shocking appearance, and he and Treves deveIop a friendship. Shot in gorgeous bIack and white and boasting a steIlar supporting cast that includes Anne Bancroft, John GieIgud, and Wendy HilIer, The EIephant Man was nominated for eight Academy Awards, cementing Lynch’s reputation as one of American cinema’s most visionary talents.
