At his secluded chateau in the French countryside,a brilliant, obsessive doctor attempts a radical plastic surgery to restore the beauty of his daughter's disfigured countenance (at a horrifying price). EYES WITHOUT A FACE, and directed by the supremely talented Georges Franju,is scarce 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 here (of terror, and of gore,of inexplicable beauty) that once seen are never forgotten.
