Hugely influential (not least on Almodovar’s The Skin I Live In), Georges Franju‘s 1960 arthouse horror casts the young Edith Scob as a woman whose face is disfigured in a car accident caused by her medic father Pierre Brasseur.
In his remote chateau, the doc embarks on some radical plastic surgery to restore her beauty, sending his devoted assistant Aida Valli out in search of suitable ‘donors’. It’s one of the most atmospheric and haunting horror flicks ever made and is back on screen to conclude the Watershed’s Peter Strickland and the Scala Sunday brunch season to accompany the release of In Fabric.
