series Black & White ’Scope: American Cinema
Directed by David Lynch | 1980
With Anthony Hopkins, John Hurt, Anne Bancroft
"Lynch’s powerful depiction of Merrick moves a viewer from revulsion and fear to empathy and tenderness. That’s the very movement of the story itself."
—Richard Brody, The New Yorker
Hurt earned an Oscar nod for his extraordinary portrayal of the real-life Joseph Merrick—a tortured soul with a host of congenital deformities—in David Lynch’s first studio film. Discovered at a freak show, Merrick is first presented to society as a curiosity, eventually revealing a man with a genteel manner and profound sensitivity. Shot in gorgeous black and white by celebrated cinematographer and horror director Freddie Francis.
