EYES WITHOUT A FACE (1960) — lost in the arthouse

“Once seen, never forgotten, Eyes Without a Face is a film to haunt your dreams. Disturbing, disorienting, quietly terrifying.” – Los Angeles Times

At his secluded château in the French countryside, a brilliant, obsessive doctor (Pierre Brasseur) attempts a radical plastic surgery to restore the beauty of his daughter’s disfigured countenance—at a horrifying price. Eyes Without a Face, directed by the supremely talented Georges Franju, is rare in horror cinema for its odd mixture of the ghastly and the lyrical, and it has been a major influence on the genre in the decades since its release. There are images here—of terror, of gore, of inexplicable beauty—that once seen are never forgotten.

LOST IN THE ARTHOUSE takes you to hidden corners of filmdom far from the glitz and glamor of Hollywood. From must-see classics to obscurities waiting to be discovered, these films stand at cinema’s bleeding edge.
