Entertainment Reviews:
Director David Lynch has created an eerily compelling atmosphere in recounting a hideously deformed man's perilous life in Victorian England.

Rating: 3/4 --
...at its best when the story and period trappings serve Lynch's vision, and vice versa.

The theme is something of a self-pitying cliché, and yet Lynch takes such a novel path to it that the film has a hypnotic, transcendent force.

National Review
Rating: 4/5 --
Many Lynchian tropes are here, from a sense of foreboding to a fascination with the grotesque, in terms of Merrick and outsiders' reactions to him.

Times (UK)
A marvellous movie, shot in stunning black-and-white by Freddie Francis.
Time Out
Director David Lynch does a great job, John Hurt is completely committed, and the mise-en-scène is excellent. [Full Review in Spanish]

El Pais (Spain)
As strange and modern as Lynch's vision is, The Elephant Man looks back to cinema's beginnings, with its images of locomotives and cinematic tricks that recall Georges Méliès.

Product Description:
A filmed version of the popular stage play (which David Lynch's 1980 film is NOT based on) Philip Anglim stars as John Merrick, AKA "The Elephant Man" in this production that makes a powerful and poignant statement on the power of the human spirit. Merrick was severely deformed and forced to appear in freak shows in order to gain sustenance until a kindly doctor assisted him. However, even in the worst of times, he possessed an indominatable dignity.
