Eyes Without a Face (French: Les yeux sans visage) is a 1960 French-language horror film adaptation of Jean Redon`s novel, directed by Georges Franju, and starring Pierre Brasseur and Alida Valli. 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.
