Eyes Without a Face

Eyes Without a Face (French: Les yeux sans visage) is a 1960 horror film directed by Georges Franju and starring Pierre Brasseur, Alida Valli, Juliette Mayniel, and Édith Scob. Based on a 1959 novel by Jean Redon, who also co-wrote the screenplay, it centers on a plastic surgeon who is determined to perform a face transplant on his daughter, who was disfigured in a car crash. An international co-production between France's Champs-Élysées Productions and Italy's Lux Film, Eyes Without a Face was shot in Paris and the surrounding suburbs, and at Boulogne Studios. During the film's production, consideration was given to the standards of European censors by minimizing gore. Although Eyes Without a Face was cleared by censors, its release in Europe caused controversy. Critic
