Eyes Without a Face
Dir. Georges Franju, 1960, France/Italy, 1 hr & 30 mins Cast: Pierre Brasseur, Alida Valli, Édith Scob
Directed by Georges Franju, this 1960 French horror film is a haunting and poetic exploration of obsession and loss. It follows a surgeon’s desperate attempts to restore his daughter’s disfigured face, leading to eerie and surreal consequences. Blending elegance with unsettling tension, it creates a dreamlike atmosphere that is both beautiful and disturbing—a quiet, unforgettable classic that reshaped the boundaries of horror and art cinema.
