EYES WITHOUT A FACE (1960) -- looking back to glimpse the future of horror (SPOILERS!)

[@brandonhamaguchi]

Your videos and the movies that you choose to cover are awesome! Hope you come back someday ❤

I'd really like to. What stops me is that KZbin is so unreasonable with its copyright policy that it blocks about 1/3 of my videos, and they're too much work to do only to be discarded by an algorithm that doesn't understand Fair Use.

If you like this one, check The Face of Another, to me it covers similar themes but goes more deep about identity and the style is bolder and refined

[@ShootMeMovieReviews]

It's another fascinating film. If pressed, I'd say I prefer this one, but both are definitely worthwhile and would make an interesting double-feature.

ive never thought of repetition as a diagetic flashback but thats a very interesting thought first time i saw this i missed the opening and it was a great way to open the movie as you can tell somethings off without explicitly knowing this has happened before but the opening is great anyway so what the hell do i know the banality of horror with the doctor is a great parallel with the skin i live in anyway you gotta review judex now

[@ShootMeMovieReviews]

The Skin I Live In is quite good, and clearly influenced by EWAF. I agree - it makes for a good comparison. A double-feature I'd recommend. I haven't seen Judex yet, but I'll look for it.

So did he always want to come up with face transplants ? Or his daughter got in a crash 😅and he was like 💡

[@ShootMeMovieReviews]

It isn't explicitly stated, but it seems likely that it was already his field of study. What it does make clear is that the accident was his fault. Take from that what you will.

the future is something we should have started on long ago
