A film by Georges Franju

Pierre Brasseur ( Les Enfants du Paradis ) is Dr Génessier, a brilliant and obsessive plastic surgeon driven by the need to restore his daughter s disfigured face and push the boundaries of his field. Aided by his loyal assistant Alida Valli ( Suspiria ), who lures young women to his secluded chateau in pursuit of his dark quest. Eugen Schüfftan's (The Hustler ) stunning cinematography lends the chateau an almost Cocteau-esque life of its own, and Edith Scob ( Judex ) is quite remarkable as the ravaged beauty.

Eyes Without a Face is at once cruel and tender, highlighting Georges Franju's unique blend of pulp, horror and poetry. In the decades since its release it has been a major influence on filmmakers as diverse as Jesús Franco, John Carpenter and, more recently, Pedro Almodóvar.
