The Elephant Man (4k restauriert)

"I am not an animal! I am a human being! I…am…a man!"

Since childhood, John Merrick has been horribly disfigured. Known as the "Elephant Man," he is exhibited in freak shows and abused by his sadistic "owner" until Dr. Frederick Treves discovers him and offers help. John Merrick is finally given the chance to live as a human being.

David Lynch’s second feature film is a powerful plea for humanity and dignity. The masterful black-and-white cinematography by Freddie Francis and the remarkable performances of John Hurt and Anthony Hopkins have made this film a celebrated classic.
