Georges Franju’s tragic film about a young woman whose father attempts to restore her face after an accident that he caused leaves her horribly disfigured has been cited as an influence by filmmakers as distinct as Jesús Franco, John Carpenter, and John Woo. Itself inspired by Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein, Eyes without a Face finds its most contemporary visual homage in Almodóvar’s The Skin I Live In (2011), with the indelible plastic mask worn by actress Édith Scob throughout the film providing Almodóvar with the visual styling of his heroine.
