remake of LES YEUX SANS VISAGE, 30 March 2009
9/10
Author: nonalger from Philippines

A Jess Franco movie is always special (for many different reasons: because its boring, inept, cheesy, cheap) but for many other reasons entertaining... Jess Franco was second unit director for the Orson Welles movie Chimes at Midnight (1968) and he also reconstructed the Orson Welles movie-material about Don Quixote (1950ties) for DVD. As a director in his own right, well, millions of comments were already spoken out about him... FACELESS is a kind of remake of the classic Les Yeux Sans Visage by Henri Georges Clouzot, and for most parts it stays close (without the poetic images of course, which were all of Clouzot's...). Nevertheless, there is a different kind of poetry here in Franco's version: a more commercial kind of poetry no doubt, according with the times in which it was made. More cruel and crude... Jess Franco proved anyway to anyone who doubt it before that he is able to make a decent movie (from a technical pov) if he is given an acceptable budget and crew to do it... The actors (and there are some in this movie: Helmut Berger, Telly Savalas, Stephan Audran, Anton Diffring...) all do quiet decent work without going mostly over the top. All in all: a must see for fans of Jess Franco-movies.
