The Elephant Man (15A) - From the Mind of David Lynch

David Lynch’s second feature THE ELEPHANT MAN was his first mainstream commercial and critical success. John Merrick is known as ‘The Elephant Man’, he is forced into becoming a circus sideshow freak and spurned by society due to the disfiguring disabilities he was born with. Rescued by a well-meaning surgeon, Merrick escapes a life of prejudice and cruelty as he tries to fit into a world ruled by Victorian sensibilities. This is an intensely moving true story of humanity and bravery. [124 mins]
