Inspiring countless horror filmmakers since it's 1960 release, Eyes Without a Face (Les Yeux Sans Visage) is the critically acclaimed film from Georges Franju. Disfigured in a car crash, Christine Génessier (Edith Scob) is forced to live wearing a mask, but her father Doctor Génessier (Pierre Brasseur) believes that he has the surgical skills necessary to replace her face, all he needs is a young woman whose face he can successfully graft onto his daughter. But as these surgical procedures fail and more women vanish from the streets, the police start investigating the disappearances... Beautifully shot in black and white, Eyes Without a Face is a remarkable work that draws on visual poetry and surrealism as well as surgical horror, to create a cinematic masterpiece.
