EYES WITHOUT A FACE
By Georges Franju
At a secluded chateau in the French countryside, a brilliant, obsessive doctor attempts a radical plastic surgery to restore the beauty of his daughter's disfigured face--at a horrifying price.
Eyes Without a Face, directed by the supremely talented Georges Franju, is rare in horror cinema for its odd mixture of the ghastly and the lyrical. Overflowing with Gothic references, it has been a major influence on the genre in the decades since its release. (1960, 90 min, 35mm)
