Georges Franjus Eyes Without a Face (1960) is a haunting French classic about a surgeon who abducts young women to restore his disfigured daughters face. A poetic and unsettling blend of horror and melancholy, it stands as one of the most influential works in European Gothic and psychological horror.

After his daughter Christiane (Edith Scob) is horribly disfigured in a car accident he caused, the brilliant and obsessive plastic surgeon Dr. Genessier (Pierre Brasseur) is driven mad with guilt. As atonement, the doctor, aided by his loyal assistant Louise (Alida Valli), lures young women to his secluded chateau and takes them to his secret laboratory to surgically remove their faces with the hope of grafting them on to his daughters ruined features and restoring her former beauty. But will Christiane allow him to succeed in his dangerous experiments?

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