Beauty and the Beast (1946)

Les Yeux Sans Visage
Eyes Without a Face (1960)
Director Georges Franju
A compulsive, murderous doctor tries repeatedly, and by any means necessary, to repair his daughter’s damaged, once beautiful, visage. Born of a poetic fantasy tradition in French cinema that connects with the likes of Jean Cocteau, this stark film by cine-surrealist Georges Franju – a man capable of crafting stunning film images (try a Google image search) – is a brutal and bloody affair. It pushes the limits of what feels normal and natural in the creation of dramatic film.

Hiroshima Mon Amour
Hiroshima My Love (1960)
Director Alain Resnais
A French actress (Emmanuelle Riva) and a Japanese architect (Eiji Okada) engage in a brief, intense affair in postwar Hiroshima, their consuming mutual fascination impelling them to exorcise their own scarred memories of love and suffering.
