[Content 】"The Eye of No Face", directed by the famous French director Georges Franju in 1959, is a landmark work in the history of black and white Gothic films in France and the whole world. It tells a plastic surgeon to treat himself as beautiful and face because of a car accident. The ruined daughter, anesthetized and kidnapped other women she didn’t know, cut off her face to fill her face, and then abandoned her body in the wilderness. The daughter deeply blamed herself for not being able to bear the pain of the victim, and finally killed herself by herself. His parents, wearing a pale mask and disappearing into the dark forest... The film fully demonstrates the great charm of black and white films, with superb use of photography, exquisite picture effects, and bizarre and terrifying plots. The film is unforgettable and impressive. There are many deep places, such as a pair of clear and melancholic eyes left behind after a daughter puts on a snow-white mask; for example, the moment the doctor cuts off the victim's face, blood slowly oozes from the edge of the oval wound (of course It's black and white, if it's colored, it's too bloody...), too artistic! For example, at the end of the film, she is wearing a white dressing gown and a daughter wearing a snow-white mask, with a white dove on her hand, slow The figure slowly disappearing in the depths of the dark and boundless forest...
