John Hurt movingly portrays John Merrick, the grotesquely deformed Victorian-era man better known as The Elephant Man . Inarticulate and abused, Merrick is the virtual slave of a carnival barker until a dedicated London doctor (played by Anthony Hopkins) offers him an existence with dignity. David Lynch earned his only Oscar nominations as director and co-writer of this somber and emotionally intense drama, shot in a stark and dreamy black-and-white palette. A compassionate tale delivered in a gothic vein . 1980; 123 min . Part of the David Lynch Cinema 101 film appreciation course!
