"Les Yeux Sans Visage" or "Eyes Without a Face" has been exploring the boundaries of what was considered acceptable by audiences and critics since its release. The film combines poetic black-and-white imagery and a fairy-tale-like story with unflinching scenes of brutality, including a notorious surgery scene that caused many fainting spells at the 1960 Edinburgh Film Festival.
The film centers on a brilliant, obsessive surgeon who kidnaps women and removes their skin to transplant it onto his daughter's disfigured face. Franju deftly balances fantasy and realism, clinical detachment and intense emotion, beauty and pain. All of this is dominated by the haunting, ghostly eyes of Edith Scob.
