The Elephant Man

This book has been specially produced to accompany Momentum Pictures Director's Chair DVD of 'The elephant man'. David Lynch is one of the most distinctive and imaginative directors working today but when he made 'The elephant man' he was virtually unknown. This book looks at how an underground hero managed to make an Oscar nominated film without compromising his unique vision. It traces the tragic true story of Joseph Merrick, the real 'elephant man' and how this remarkable film was brought to the screen.
