EYES WITHOUT A FACE (Les Yeux Sans Visage)
A mysterious, plastic-raincoated woman drives through the night,
stopping to dump a corpse in the river, its face concealed by a hat;
later she stalks a young female student through the streets of Paris.
A distinguished surgeon lectures to a rapt audience on the
difficulties of the “heterograft,” then goes to police headquarters to
identify the body of his daughter, horribly disfigured in a car crash
— but the edges of the facial wound of this corpse are so clean they
might have been cut with a scalpel. And who’s that huddled face down
on her bed on the — locked — top floor of the doctor’s house?
