My name is John Merrick

I love how not easy this movie is. Probably, some other director would have made it impossible for any person to see it and not cry but Lynch goes deep down in another way. The film is devastating yet it has not a drop of Tv film of the week. The technical aspects are exquisite an all the actors are beyond great (I now officially love Anne Bancroft). By the way, is it just me or Anthony Hopkins and Mikhail Baryshnikov were separated at birth?
