From Victorian social mores to [intense mechanical whooshing], The Elephant Man has it all!

Join us as we take a walk through the back alleys of East London and into the hearts of John (Joseph) Merrick and Dr. Frederick Treves in David Lynch's 1980 film. While not a conventional Lynch film in the sense that most people like to think of it, THE ELEPHANT MAN deals with much of the same subject matter that would captivate Lynch as his career continued. Differently-abled bodies, violence (sexual and otherwise), the eternal struggles of man against his nature and against the world around him, and deep dreamscapes -- whether nightmares or lofty aspirations or indicated by billowing coal smoke from the chimneys of an industrializing city. Grab your Kleenex. We're cranking Barber's Adagio and heading to the London Hospital... THE ELEPHANT MAN (1980)

Starring: John Hurt, Anthony Hopkins, Anne Bancroft, John Gielgud, Wendy Hiller
