Editorial
An enigmatic brew of gruesome and poetic images, Georges Franju’s oddly beautiful indictment against appearances is often cited as one of the greatest horror films ever made. In this cruel tale of male obsession, striking depictions of plastic surgery procedures echo the traumatic wounds of WWII.
