A chillingly poetic visual nightmare, Georges Franju’s Eyes Without a Face is a haunting and devastating marvel of genre-filmmaking. Riddled with guilt after an accident that disfigured his young daughter, the once beautiful Christiane. Dr. Génessier, along with his complicit laboratory assistant Louise (Alida Valli, The Third Man), kidnaps young women, brings them to his Gothic mansion, and attempts to remove their faces to transplant on the poor masked Christiane. A singular vision of torment, obsession, and grotesquery, to see it is to be marked by it permanently.
