Please note: Due to an unexpected circumstance, the screening of EYES WITHOUT A FACE on Sunday, February 11, will be digitally projected. The subsequent show on Thursday, February 15, will screen in 35mm as planned.
A poetic pulp film from Georges Franju. This film launched a thousand imitators, but none have captured the pathos and nightmarish atmosphere of the original. Pierre Brasseur plays a surgeon whose daughter (Édith Scob) has been facially disfigured in an accident. Along with his accomplice (Alida Valli), he kidnaps young women for experimental skin graft surgery. Horrifying, tender, and beautiful at the same time. In 35mm.
