Join us Friday, Sept. 27th for a Retro-mania screening of David Lynch's Oscar-nominated classic THE ELEPHANT MAN (1980)!!
Showtime: 11:30 PM, tickets: $12.
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.
"This tale of a pure soul struggling to be heard over the prejudice of the many is quite heart-rending." - BBC
"Director David Lynch has created an eerily compelling atmosphere in recounting a hideously deformed man's perilous life in Victorian England." - Variety
"This is a tale of redemption and transcendence, of the hunchback of London Hospital, of the noble phantom who wanted to go to the opera, of Beauty and the Beast." - TIME
