She is the purest lady in the film with Edna of course.The doctor's lady is the DEVIL with him too..Poor Christiane.She is disfigured so horribly and so sad even if we never see her face ,except a short second..It is better this way.She expresses so many feelings,despair, sadness and angerness with her eyes that seeing her face is unnecessary..The face of the doctor is more horrible in a way.He is a MURDERER.
This is not only a true MASTERPIECE but also the proof that cinema could be also art. This is one of my favorite horror movies along George Romero´s Dawn of the dead, the first two Aliens and Texas Chainsaw Massacre.
A true masterpiece, a genuine piece of art! The director was a true pioneer as Verne: 50 years before the first operation, he showed the first human face transplant.
This film is almost noir-like with its strong blacks and stark whites. Its a strange mix of Gaston Leroux's Phantom of the Opera and a fairytale. Maurice Jarre's carnival-like music also plays an important part in contrasting with the horrific and poignant. I wish Georges Franju had made more films like this.
+SamLloydPresents I think this is why modern horror is so off-the-track. The modern horrors have no contrast. They offer no hope. No option to the conflict. They prey solely on the audience's "expected dread" without intrinsic provision by the story.
I've watched this film a few times and have always found that the contrast between the horror-based cinematography and the kind of carnival music by Maurice Jarre makes the subject of the film even more disturbing.
This film is fantastic.I remember a few years ago that I hate to see these films because they were ¨weird¨. What a mistake! Now you see horror movies nowadays (and suspense in general) and are mostly a disaster! I'm from the old school, although i rescued films like The Babadook! There are many good ideas and always end up being the same ...
@@Blaqjaqshellaq ik I'm 11 months late to reply but I feel like I should point out that the difference isnt only limited to style (idk if you are talking about execution cause then you would be right but I'm still going to say what I want to say) it's about how well the plot is executed and its relationship with its horror aspect. A movie that is more plot based tends to do well but a lot of movies nowadays rely on cheap jumpscares and a shit ton of cgi (I'm looking at you "The prodegie"). The point is that movie back then had to deal with a limited buget and little to no CGI so they had to captivate thier audience with a great plot and great characters. While I do agree there are still movies like this today (like the absolute banger that is "us") they aren't as common as they use to be
I'm So Glad This Film Was Made, Because Her Featureless Look Was The Inspiration For The Michael Myers Mask In Halloween Whick Is My Favourate Horror/Slasher Of All Time. But Still I Applaud This Film For That Factor.
theres an episode of are you afraid of the dark with the same plot the name of the episode is called "The Tale of the Many Faces" I'm sure you can find it here on youtube
Thank you for posting / uploading this trailer over the next few days my Facebook group is featuring horror movie trailers from the 60’s and this fits in perfectly. #DrDreadReviews
Just watch the movie! It's totally worth it. You can watch the entire thing (for a limited time) on Hulu.com, free of charge! Since you've come to this video, I'm sure you'll enjoy the film.
The name and year of the movie are right in the title heading of this video: Eyes Without a Face (1960). The original French title is Les yeux sans visage.
@TDIhoohooh1 You cannot even begin compare the Human Centipede with this film. It's like comparing a crown jewel to a pile of assorted animal shit. This movie is brilliant. One of the best horror movies EVER.
Are we stuck w/ that music? It wrecks everything. Disrupts and disturbs any effort by the filmmaker to create true mood and atmosphere. Jarre obviously just didn't care and did it super-quick. It would take longer to play that crap than write it.
