I made it after so many years to watch it completely on BD.
So a good copy.
That film was one that at firsthand really liked.
Did the film change?
Maybe did I..
English actors are almost always a guaranty for quality here we have Hopkins, Hurt, Gielgud, and as one of the finest. ..American Bancroft!
This film is a politic statement. The true story is that the " Elephant man " exploited himself, in a word he sold his body for freak show.
Linch made him a victim, bad society, very bad.
Then he show us the good side of man.
His film is filled with sadism and brutality, with boring moment and overall an unwell cut film.
Bye bye Elephant Man, that is the last time I see you.
