Eyes Without a Face (French: Les Yeux sans visage) is a 1960 French-language horror film co-written and directed by Georges Franju. The film, a French-Italian co-production, stars Pierre Brasseur and Alida Valli. Based on the novel of the same name by Jean Redon, it revolves around a plastic surgeon who is determined to perform a face transplant on his daughter, who was disfigured in an auto crash. 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 release in Europe caused controversy nevertheless. Critical reaction ranged from praise to disgust.

Very happy to finally get to watch this one, thank you for posting it, Minimalis T ChanneL! Effective old school horror, surprisingly tough to watch in parts. In French, so I caught words, occasional phrase/sentence, but not to worry; the emoting and physical actions clearly tell the story. The circus-like theme that comes and goes and the unhinged quality were particularly nice.
