With surgical precision, Adam and Zands dissect Georges Franju's 1960 horror/noir classic, Eyes Without a Face. In this film, a brilliant but disturbed surgeon and his assistant kidnap young women and surgically remove their faces to serve as transplants for his daughter who was disfigured in a car accident. They discuss the film's influences (German expressionism, film noir) and the artists it influenced (Del Toro, Burton), as well as its dark fairy tale storyline, its feminist themes and its anti-fascist/anti-authoritarian messaging.
CW for surgery, animal attacks, some ore, medical abuses of women's bodies, suicide and human trafficking
Zands' Rating: 5/5
Adam's Rating: 5/5
