Synopsis

*Pour vos beaux yeux* (For Your Beautiful Eyes) is an eight-minute surrealist short film directed by Henri Storck and based on an idea by Félix Labisse. In 75 shots, the film traces the journey of a young man who finds a glass eye in a park, becomes fascinated by its peculiar charm, and attempts, without success, to get rid of it by sending it through the mail. Henry Van Vyve stars in the lead role, with brief appearances by Labisse and his sister Ninette. The film presents a whimsical yet disquieting examination of obsession and absurdity, and was released just one year after *Un Chien Andalou*.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 5

These are the principals we have on file — the full crew ran to the hundreds. Every film this size was made by far more hands than any credits list ever names.

Why a floor?

This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.
