David Lynch - The Elephant Man / Mulholland Drive / Inland Empire DVD   Studio Canal

Unique, controversial, and always original, director David Lynch exploded onto the cinematic landscape in 1977 with Eraserhead. Since then he has provided the world of film with a wealth of unforgettable movie. This box set houses three of his finest works; the affecting, inspirational drama, The Elephant Man, the enigmatic masterpiece Mulholland Drive and the disquieting, surrealist mystery Inland Empire.

THE ELEPHANT MAN:
John Merrick (John Hurt) is The Elephant Man, forced into circus sideshows and spurned by society because of the disfiguring disabilities he was born with. Rescued by a well meaning surgeon (Anthony Hopkins), he tries to escape a life of prejudice and cruelty as he attempts to fit into a world ruled by Victorian sensibilities.

MULHOLLAND DRIVE:
A surreal, film noir influenced mystery starring Naomi Watts and Laura Elena Harring. Amnesiac and wounded, a mysterious femme fatale wanders on the sinuous road of Mulholland Drive. She befriends a young aspiring actress, and together the women decide to investigate in order to discover her true identity. This slick, sinister, psycho-sexual thriller comes from the darkest recesses of Hollywood, a Los Angeles of strange dreams, unrequited love and jealous burning rage.

INLAND EMPIRE:
Laura Dern is Nikki Grace, an actress preparing for her biggest role yet; a Hollywood movie from an acclaimed director (Jeremy Irons), playing opposite an amorous leading man (Justin Theroux). But when she finds herself falling for her co-star, she realizes her life is beginning to mimic the fictional film they are shooting. Adding to her confusion is the revelation that the film they are making is a remake of a doomed Polish production which was never finished due to an unspeakable tragedy.
