GRFS is proud to present The Man From Another Place: A David Lynch Retrospective. Join us for a months-long celebration of the life and work of David Lynch, the inimitable artist who passed away earlier this year and left behind a legacy of singular moviemaking that continues to impact both American and global film culture through his brilliant and uncompromising cinematic visions.
Dr. Frederic Treves (Anthony Hopkins) discovers Joseph (John) Merrick (John Hurt) in a sideshow. Born with a congenital disorder, Merrick uses his disfigurement to earn a living as the "Elephant Man." Treves brings Merrick into his home, discovering that his rough exterior hides a refined soul, and that Merrick can teach the stodgy British upper class of the time a lesson about dignity. Merrick becomes the toast of London and charms a caring actress (Anne Bancroft) before his death at 27.
