Get ready for spooky season as Cinephile Paradiso presents the 1960 French horror classic Eyes Without a Face.

In this chilling tale, Dr. Génessier, a guilt-ridden surgeon, becomes obsessed with restoring his daughter Christiane’s beauty after a car accident that he caused leaves her face horribly disfigured. Believed dead by the outside world, Christiane lives in isolation while her father goes to monstrous lengths to make amends for his mistake. With the help of his accomplice Louise, Dr. Génessier kidnaps young women, harvesting their faces in a desperate attempt to give Christiane a new identity.

Director Georges Franju gets under the skin with this visually poetic and entrancing horror film that explores obsession, guilt, and the price of perfection.

Cinephile Paradiso is a monthly classic cinema club taking place in Pálás Cinema & Bar. On the first Thursday of every month we handpick a classic film to watch on the big screen, followed by a discussion in the bar.
