Lynch's vision on Eraserhead convinced several recognized auteurs that he was the proper man to direct this shocking and heartbreaking tale. Although sometimes considered as the "least Lynch" movie after The Straight Story (1999), The Elephant Man holds a place among his truly memorable efforts. Some surreal fragments are still visible in a couple of scenes and his ability to touch the people's hearts is considerably remarkable and, quite frankly, unexpected.

97/100.
