French Beauty is a 70-minute documentary exploring the idea of femininity in French cinema. Through interviews with iconic actresses such as Brigitte Bardot, Juliette Binoche, Catherine Deneuve and others, interwoven with film clips, fashion imagery, and archival footage, the film investigates how beauty is constructed, perceived, and performed. It considers what it means to be a “French beauty” — the tension between private identity and public image, the implications of being nude on screen, loss of privacy, and how the star system and couture contribute to, and exploit, these ideals.
