New 4K Restoration! David Lynch adapts the true story of John Merrick (John Hurt), whose severe facial deformities bely a gentle soul, and the doctor (Anthony Hopkins) determined to give him a life of dignity. Infusing the prestige historical drama with the director’s signature surrealism, The Elephant Man earned eight Oscar nods, including Best Picture and Best Director.
