Three films from legendary American director David Lynch. In 'The
Elephant Man' (1980), John Merrick (John Hurt) is a brutalised man,
treated as a freak since childhood because of his appalling
physical deformities, until he is discovered by London doctor
Frederick Treves (Anthony Hopkins), who treats him with the
kindness and intelligence he deserves. Unfortunately, by awakening
his true character the problems continue, for he can never lead a
'normal' life. In 'Mulholland Drive' (2001), having narrowly
survived a murder attempt and a car crash, a shocked and wounded
woman (Laura Elena Harring) takes refuge in a nearby apartment.
When she is discovered the next morning by the apartment's official
resident, aspiring actress Betty Elms (Naomi Watts), she confesses
that she neither knows who she is nor what happened to her. The two
women then begin to investigate, and it gradually becomes clear
that they have known each other in the past. Meanwhile, a young
film director (Justin Theroux) finds that the mob are taking an
unusual interest in the casting of his latest film. Finally, in
'Inland Empire' (2006), Laura Dern plays Nikki Grace, an ingenue
actress whose latest role in a Tennessee Williams-esque fright of a
film tests her to her limits. A parallel storyline shows an earlier
attempt to make this film in Poland which ended in tragedy when the
two lead players were offed.

Drama based on the memoirs of Colin Clark, who worked as an
assistant on the set of 'The Prince and the Showgirl', the 1956
British-made film starring Laurence Olivier and Marilyn Monroe.
Monroe (Michelle Williams) has recently married playwright Arthur
Miller (Dougray Scott), and filming coincides with their British
honeymoon. But when Miller returns to America, 23-year-old Colin
(Eddie Redmayne), assistant to the irascible Olivier (Kenneth
Branagh), seizes his opportunity and escorts the star on a short
break in the English countryside. As she experiences the charms of
the country and relaxes from the pressures of her celebrity and her
work, Monroe recounts her remarkable story and reveals the fragile
foundation of contradictions and insecurities on which her stardom
is built. Judi Dench, Emma Watson and Dominic Cooper co-star.
