CLASSIC HORROR HEROINES

ÉDITH SCOB as Christiane Génessier in EYES WITHOUT A FACE (1960) dir. Georges Franju

When I look in a mirror, I feel I'm looking at someone who looks like me, but seems to come from the Beyond, from the Beyond.

I had a hard time settling on the Idol version or the Olsen cover of this song. But a classic is a classic, right? Finished this up stuck in the house with COVID, in and out of consciousness.

My tribute to the originally underrated haunting horror fairytale film by Georges Franju.

i fully understand why eyes without a face (1960) is considered a seminal piece in modern horror. an atmospheric and understated film, it tells the story of a doctor who is determined to replace the face of his daughter, damaged in a car accident, with the face of an unwilling donor. and yet despite this grisly premise, only a fraction of this film’s horror relies on the medical horror of scalpels and necrosis. rather than the exposure of gore, this film focuses on the sterile absence of humanity in its medical setting. thematically, father-daughter affection is replaced by possession and experimentation—the doctor must repair his broken daughter, not out of concern for her well-being, but to prove his own medical mastery and to maintain his property. he provides a home for unwanted dogs and isolated young women merely so that their flesh can be useful to him. the caged dogs and caged birds in this film provide open symbols for this, but the most impactful symbol in the film is the daughter christiane herself, played by édith scob. christiane’s blank white mask, worn dietetically over her disfigured face, is credited as the inspiration for michael myers’s in halloween (1971); in contrast to the utter physical inexpressiveness of michael, however, scob acts with exaggerated yet deliberate movements that almost seem inspired by clowning. combined with her porcelain doll mask, the total effect is one of simulated, recreated, and utterly controlled humanity. released in the same milieu as the french new wave and its celebration of youth culture, this film’s horror conceit critiques the tight, controlling leash the older generation feels entitled to put on the younger, even if the mechanism it uses to do so differs sharply from the consummate realism of much the new wave. i deeply enjoyed eyes without a face (1960), and i look forward to seeing more of its antecedents in later film

It's been a long time since your hosts have travelled to France! This week we cover LES YEUX SANS VISAGE (1960) aka EYES WITHOUT A FACE from director Georges Franju!

Based on the Jean Redon novel, the film stars Pierre Brasseur, Alida Valli and Édith Scob. It delivers French New Wave horror while keeping you at arm's length -- but will that work in its favour?
