| Synopsis: We are obsessed with beauty.
Outward appearance and the pursuit of perfection, particularly for
women, is an industry, a way of life, a major part of Western
culture and ultimately, for better or worse, how we judge people. It
is also a tool for selling everything from magazines to movie
tickets. For some, the creation and pursuit of physical beauty is a
way to make a living. For others, it is a way to spend the day, a
way to help them feel better about themselves, a mere daily ritual
or a miraculous cure for the blues.
With "Venus Beauty Institute," French writer / director Tonie
Marshall takes us into this world of beauty and self image and into
the lives of four strong, smart women who make their living
practicing beauty at a Parisian spa. |
