EYES WITHOUT A FACE/BD

At his secluded chateau in the French countryside, a brilliant, obsessive doctor (CHILDREN OF PARADISES Pierre Brasseur) attempts a radical plastic surgery to restore the beauty of his daughters disfigured countenance at a horrifying price. EYES WITHOUT A FACE, directed by the supremely talented Georges Franju (Judex), is rare in horror cinema for its odd mixture of the ghastly and the lyrical, and it has been a major influence on the genre in the decades since its release. There are images hereof terror, of gore, of inexplicable beauty that once seen are never forgotten.
