Composer Reimagines Horror Classic's Score
7 May
Summary
- Félicia Atkinson created a new score for the cult horror film.
- The album, Sans Visage, is a 34-minute version of her 90-minute score.
- Atkinson dedicated the record to French rape survivor Gisèle Pelicot.
French composer Félicia Atkinson has unveiled Sans Visage, a new album that reimagines the score for Georges Franju's classic horror film, Les Yeux Sans Visage. Initially created for the Videodroom series, the music is now being released as a record on June 26. The album features a 34-minute selection from Atkinson's complete 90-minute score.
Atkinson stated that her intention with the music was to convey a sense of empowerment for the film's characters, contrasting with their challenging experiences. She specifically dedicated Sans Visage to Gisèle Pelicot, a rape survivor from France, whose public sharing of her trial during the composition process deeply resonated with Atkinson's themes of strength and overcoming shame.
