Eyes Without a Face 4K Ultra HD 1960 Blu-ray BFI Georges Franju Pierre Brasseur

The chilling, surreal fantasy masterpiece hits 4K Ultra HD!

Introducing BFI's 4K Ultra HD (Region Free) Limited Edition release for 1960's Eyes Without a Face. Cruel, tender and highlighting Georges Franju’s unique blend of pulp, horror and poetry, it has, in the decades since its release, been a major influence on filmmakers such as Jesús Franco, John Carpenter and, more recently, Pedro Almodóvar.

After his daughter Christiane (Edith Scob) is horribly disfigured in a car accident he caused, the brilliant and obsessive plastic surgeon Dr. Genessier (Pierre Brasseur) is driven mad with guilt. As atonement, the doctor, aided by his loyal assistant Louise (Alida Valli), lures young women to his secluded chateau and takes them to his secret laboratory to surgically remove their faces with the hope of grafting them on to his daughter’s ruined features and restoring her former beauty. But will Christiane allow him to succeed in his dangerous experiments?
