Eyes Without a Face
The first Georges Franju film to hit DVD is a horror masterpiece in a category of its own, so great that ... you know,
I could fill the page with subjective superlatives for this one. If you're a fan of quiet, creepy horror with an
intelligent theme and exquisite visuals, Les Yeux sans Visage will be a knockout. With the amazing Edith Scob,
Pierre Brasseur and Alida Valli; backed up with Criterion's usual authoritative goodies as well as Franju's shocking
1949 slaughterhouse docu The Blood of Beasts. Savant's most treasured DVD acquisition this year by far.
