Trivia
When hired by Mel Brooks and Stuart Cornfeld to direct The Elephant Man (1980), David Lynch showed this film to producer Jonathan Sanger, who initially had optioned the script, as he still wasn't convinced that Lynch was right for the job. This convinced him otherwise, as it showed that Lynch not only could make a surreal nightmare but also an emotionally affecting film.

Cinematography all the way

This film is a lesson. A lesson on how you can, with minor means,

create a work which explores all ways of cinematography. And this

without any dialogue. In my idea films are not there to tell a story

(they can be used as such tough) and this movie goes straight

back to the time where films were shown at carnivals and gave you

a glimpse of new worlds to be explored. Don't worry too much about the (lack of) narritive story. Just sit back

and enjoy the huge amount of emotions that will come to you.

Fear, hatred, love and desire for a better world.
