David Lynch Tribute: The Elephant Man

Tuesday, June 17 at 7 PM

“This tale of a pure soul struggling to be heard over the prejudice of the many is quite heart-rending.”
— Almar Haflidason, BBC.com

KPAC presents THE ELEPHANT MAN as part of our Tribute series celebrating those who have recently left us. A Victorian surgeon rescues a heavily disfigured man who is mistreated while scraping a living as a side-show freak. Behind his monstrous façade, there is revealed a person of kindness, intelligence and sophistication. David Lynch’s brilliant second feature finds an admirable synthesis of compassion and restraint in treating its subject, and features outstanding performances by John Hurt and Anthony Hopkins.

Rated: PG | 2 hr 4 min | Tickets: $8 Adult / $5 Child / Film Pass
