Eyes Without a Face
Les yeux sans visage
Schedule
Tuesday, March 10, 2026
Run Time: 90min
Georges Franju, 1960, 90min, 35mm
Starring Pierre Brasseur, Alida Valli, Juliette Mayniel, Édith Scob
An early body-horror marvel, Franju’s influential chiller sees a surgeon/mad scientist (Pierre Brasseur) and his assistant/accomplice (Alida Valli) taking extreme measures to restore the face of his daughter (Édith Scob) after a disfiguring car accident. The director’s best-known work is gruesome and gorgeous, with stunning, surrealistic imagery that still manages to shock. Inspiring Michael Myer’s Halloween mask and paid tribute to in Holy Motors, Franju’s masterpiece was misunderstood upon its release (and butchered in the US as The Horror Chamber of Dr. Faustus), and remains, like the most potent nightmares, permanently seared into the mind.
“Outre as it is, never tires as hypnotic, touching, ghastly fun.” – Wesley Morris
