A French horror film from the late fifties, this is an intriguing and startling film shot in beautiful black and white cinematography about a doctor trying to repair his daughter’s damaged face from an accident he caused, by murdering young girls to rebuild her face. It’s strange and weird to watch, and most likely had influence on Pedro Almodovar’s The Skin I Live In, a film with a partly similar plot. I haven’t seen it in ages, and feel like it’s a movie I only want to watch once, but it’s definitely a standout in horror cinema.
