But I can't find the word "yeux' in any French dictionary. i'm assuming it means "eyes", but why isn't it listed? Anyone know?
I know this post is 10 years old, but in case anyone is wondering about the answer to this question: "yeux" is the plural form of the singular word for "eye," which is "oeil" (but with a joined character for "oe"). There is no separate dictionary entry for "yeux" for the same reason there would be no separate dictionary entry for "eyes" (plural) in an English dictionaryit is a subentry or just a subnote under the main singular entry.
il
(j, j )
Word forms: plural yeux
masculine noun
"eye"" Elle a les yeux verts." "She has green eyes."" J'ai quelque chose dans l'il." "I've got something in my eye."

He absolutely was. He saw it and was haunted by the movie which inspired the song. And ironically in a full circle, I first heard the song in a haunted house video I have, found the song, then the movie which is a horror movie. And still a truly haunting and beautiful poetic horror movie..

Thank you, Criterion collection. -

auch!
thanks for link.
this is weird as movie itself:
Idol's memories of the video are painful ones. His contact lenses dried out during the shoot, and when he fell asleep on a flight to his next gig in Arizona, they fused to his eyes. He had to get his corneas scraped at a hospital and wear bandages on his eyes for three days.
