The first introduction for many of us to the delightful Audrey Tautou (Amelie), Venus Beauty is a light and frothy confection with some great performances. Nathalie Baye, as ever, puts in a brilliant portrayal of someone who has spent to long in the school of hard knocks, not quite sure what to do with the unexpected attentions of her would-be suiter. Very enjoyable. < less

Venus is the local beauty parlour where treatments and advice are given in equal measure.The mostly women clients and staff alike indulge in stories and share and alternately conceal the secrets of their private lives. But veteran beautician Angele (the still luminous Baye) seeks nothing more than sex without ties or emotion outside work, until the declaration of love from a perfect stranger throws her life into confusion. A charming and witty comedy about relationships, typically French and highly enjoyable."Fantastic" Uncut. "It's chic, but also sharp." Evening Standard. < less
