Venus & Apollo

The Venus Beauty Institute is opening up once more for our very great pleasure and well-being. New management, new staff and new clients. Also Venus now welcomes Apollo into her temple. Let’s make an appointment! In the snug, scented universe of the treatment rooms, confidences are exchanged, whispered or yelled while, outside, clouds and seasons pass by, carrying off with them crumbs of life. A comedy in pink and blue! Laughter, tears, intimate secrets and emotions mingle with the odour of hot wax, foutain-of-youth creams and other paraphernalia.

Directed by Tonie Marshall, Venus & Apollo leans on a strong ensemble — Alessandro Carmeci, Brigitte Roüan, Maria de Medeiros — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The series landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about comedy titles of 2005.
