The Elephant Man   — 4K UHD 08/22/26

Are you ready to see what 4K resolution and contrast do to high-quality B&W cinematography?  David Lynch’s most humane and sympathetic film still makes our heads spin. Lynch extends and develops the visual nightmares of his experimental Eraserhead for this horror classic, a modern Freaks based on an actual historical personage. Stars Anthony Hopkins, John Hurt, Anne Bancroft, John Gielgud, Wendy Hiller and Freddie Jones all give indelible, emotionally moving performances. It comes off as an extension of the original Tod Browning Freaks, a a plea for understanding. How many horror pictures hold up hope for social decency and personal dignity? On 4K Ultra HD + Blu-ray from The Criterion Collection.
