Produktbeschreibung

Eyes Without a Face ( French: Les yeux sans visage) is a 1960 French-language horror film adaptation of Jean Redon's novel which was directed by French filmmaker Georges Franju, It stars Pierre Brasseur as Doctor Génessier, Alida Valli as Louise, his assistant and accomplice, and Edith Scob as Christiane Génessier, his daughter.The obsessive Doctor Génessier attempts heterografting, via experimental surgery, to restore the face of Christiane, whose face has been horribly disfigured in a car accident. Louise lures young women to their home while in Doctor Génessier's home laboratory to perform experiments on them that will restore Christiane's beauty. During the film's production, consideration was given to the standards of European censors by setting the right tone, minimizing gore and eliminating the ' mad scientist' character. Although the film passed through the European censors, the film's 1960 release in Europe caused controversy nevertheless. Critical reaction ranged from praise to disgust.
