Synopsis
A Victorian surgeon rescues a heavily disfigured man who is mistreated while scraping a living as a side-show freak. Behind his monstrous facade, there is revealed a person of intelligence and sensitivity. David Lynch's first Hollywood picture is a historical drama that will surprise you with its tender melancholy and humanity — and scare you with its darkness.
