"Dr. Génessier, a renowned surgeon, causes his beautiful daughter Christiane's face to be horribly mutilated in a car accident. To make his daughter whole, Dr. Génessier enlists his assistant Louise in a devious plot: she follows and befriends beautiful young women, so the doctor can remove their faces in painstaking operations, to graft onto Christiane. Sadly, her body rejects the new faces, and so she wears an emotionless mask to cover up her scars. Dr. Génessier's genuine feelings of love and guilt are balanced by his astonishing arrogance and hubris, pressing the moral and legal limits of science for a single, selfish interest. The results are surely going to be disastrous, and deadly."
"A blend of pulp poetry and art cinema directed by Georges Franju. Cruel and tender, the story concerns a doctor who is driven mad with guilt because he has disfigured his daughter. As atonement the doctor kidnaps women and peels off their faces, trying to graft them on to his daughter's ruined features."
"A mad scientist tries to restore his daughter's face by grafting skin from young women he murders."
"Due to his reckless driving, a brilliant plastic surgeon, Dr. Genessier is responsible for disfiguring his beautiful daughter. Guilt-ridden, he resolves to fashion a new face for his daughter by grafting skin tissue from unsuspecting female patients with similar molecular structures. His devoted assistant, Louise, searches Paris for girls who resemble Christiane and lures them back to Genessier's sanitorium where they are held captive. After several failed attempts, the doctor temporarily restores Christiane's face. Unfortunately, the epidermis deteriorates at an alarming rate. Christiane seeks revenge by murdering Louise and unleashing the dogs her father had intended for experimentation. The mad canines tear off Genessier's face, while Christiane, still faceless, wanders into the night."
"At his secluded chateau 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."
