A true story of courage and human dignity.
A Victorian surgeon rescues a heavily disfigured man being mistreated by his "owner" as a side-show freak. Behind his monstrous façade, there is revealed a person of great intelligence and sensitivity. Based on the true story of Joseph Merrick (called John Merrick in the film), a severely deformed man in 19th century London.
Director: David Lynch
Cast: Anthony Hopkins, John Hurt, Anne Bancroft, John Gielgud, Wendy Hiller

Description
The Elephant Man (1980), directed by David Lynch, StudioCanal 4k remaster, encoded in 10 bit HEVC with AAC sound, including original theatrical stereo, and subtitles in English, French, and German.
IMDb : https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0080678/
Video encoded in two-pass 11.0 Mbps x265 10bit with the veryslow preset for archive quality image. Audio encoded separately with Apple AAC for the highest-quality AAC sound available. Subtitles converted to VobSub and repositioned.
Note : We lost genius filmmaker David Lynch recently, and while I've already done some of his films, I figured another one was in order, and this quite nice 4k remaster of one his more accesible films will do nicely. It's a touching, sad, and beautiful portrait of a man who looks monstrous, but shows himself to be more human and dignified than most of those around him. The beautiful, stark black and white cinematography is by our old friend Freddie Francis, and at times reaches the etheral quality of the work of Rudolph Maté, Carl Theodor Dreyer's DP on Vampyr and The Passion of Joan of Arc. It was executive produced by Mel Brooks, interestingly, who approved Lynch as a director after apparently really loving Eraserhead, and the cast is also amazing, including Anthony Hopkins, John Hurt, Anne Bancroft, John Gielgud, and Wendy Hiller. This is a much watch for anyone who enjoys great cinema.
In a prologue, elephants strike down John Merrick's mother, and an infant can be heard crying. Surgeon Treves finds the adult Merrick in a freak show in London's East End, where Mr. Bytes keeps him hooded. Treves pays Bytes to bring Merrick to the hospital for examination. Treves shows Merrick's deformed head to his colleagues, mentioning that he has to sleep sitting up, or he would asphyxiate. When Merrick returns to Bytes, Bytes beats him so badly that an errand boy has to bring Merrick back to the hospital, where Treves to his suprise finds him to be intellectually competent and able to speak. Treves keeps him at the hospital and begins to teach him, but it turns out Merrick already knows how to read, and has a talent for memorization. As Merrick becomes an object of curiosity in London society, Treves questions his actions, as it seems he's still being put on display, while Bytes and others with less scrupulous motives plot to make money on him.
This is a crisp, clear, and nicely detailed and textured remaster, with tight, subtle grain and excellent contrast. The stereo track also sounds quite good. As usual with most Lynch films, there's no commentary track.
