Eyes Without a Face (1960)

After she was horrendously disfigured during a car accident, Édith Scob’s doctor father Pierre Brasseur, with the help of his dedicated assistant Alida Valli, vowed to restore her face by kidnapping young women to serve as involuntary donors. A fascinating bit of body horror, it obviously has a lot in common with The Face of Another. Édith Scob projects an engrossing sensitivity as a deeply damaged individual that is extraordinary for the fact that she spends the majority of her time behind a mostly immovable mask that only allows for expression through the eyes.
