Review of Eyes Without a Face (1960) by Dagmar D — 06 Feb 2013
A man becomes obessed with perfecting the reconstruction of her daughter's once beautiful face, which was disfigured in a car accident. His technique, however, requires kidnapping girls and cutting off their living skins.
Though many films tried before and after to turn similar premises into film, none ever had the class and grace of Franju's nightmarish vision which represents the horror genre at its most poetic, also thanks to a wonderful cinematography and an unforgettable ending.
Influential, stylish and chilling.
