|
The middle aged Angèle (Nathalie Baye) works in a beauty saloon where her manager says that she should be managing her own saloon. However, Angèle is content with what she is and has, or at least so she says. In the evenings Angèle goes to odd places and picks up strangers with whom she has sex. On one occasion when Angèle sits at the train station with one of these men she begins to express her interest in the man beyond sex, but the man in not interested. Antoine, a young artist, overhears the conversation and falls in love with Angèle and he decides to express love his love for her. Angèle resents the love shown by Antoine, and her fear for commitment begins to surface. Venus Beauty Institute is a small and interesting film that presents human interaction and conflict through the lens of insecurity and fear. This is portrayed through the characters and the environment in which they dwell. |
