La beauté même

“I have often wondered what constitutes beauty…” So says Monique Miller, who in this short documentary film personifies the universal woman, anxious to please since childhood, vulnerable, depending on the moment, to the gaze of others, to the torture of waiting, to the obsession with tomorrow’s wrinkles. This film, which attempts to define what beauty means to women, as presented to them by the advertising world as the ultimate goal, was made in the 1960s. It is one of the first films to have been made by a woman about women.
