Review of The Elephant Man (1980) by Brad H — 28 Aug 2009
John Hurt gives a painful yet ultimately transformative portrayal of John Merrick (the elephant man) in this David LYnch film. If you think Lynch is too quirky & weird then see this to get a perspective on what he might consider the painful extremes of existence an what I suspect drives his vision.
