A surgeon kidnaps young women to try to transplant their face onto the one of his daughter, disfigured in a car accident. Directed by Georges Franju.
A both creepy and poetic French horror film from 1960. It leaves plenty of room for your imagination, and you can't help but admire the economy of the storytelling and the purity of the black and white images.
i love this movie. i highly recommend judex, other franju masterpiece. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_HM_hN6uDvk
