Fashion, diet, cosmetic surgery ... For many women, the desire to be beautiful is a never-ending desire. In women's magazines and women's web magazines, topics on the theme of "beauty" such as new color cosmetics and new supplements are updated daily to drive further desires. Some women spend a lot of money chasing beauty even if they spend their lives.
But what is "beauty" in the first place? Why can we spare so much time, money and effort just to be beautiful?
This time, we have picked up three movies with the theme of "beauty" that attracts us and never stops. The first is a love story between a beautiful woman with "perfect skin" and an orthopedic surgeon using cosmetic surgery technology, and the second is hair that has influenced women's lifestyles by developing new hairstyles. In the life of a stylist, the third is a documentary that carefully captures the work scenes of craftsmen involved in creating brand-name products. Three works that depict the activities of people who create "beauty", although they have different shapes. What do you feel about each form that seeks and creates "true beauty"?

At Cinemarise, the latest work "The Skin I Live In" by Cannes Best Director Award-winning writer Pedro Almodóvar is now on sale. Robert, a global plastic surgeon, reached a turning point in his life 12 years before his wife, Gull, died. Gull was seriously burned in a traffic accident. Robert's single-minded nursing saved his life, but he was desperate for his appearance, which had changed like a "burning dreg" reflected in the window, and committed suicide by jumping. Losing his beloved wife, Robert devoted himself to the study of "perfect skin" that could have saved her as obsessed since. And Robert, who lost his conscience, used the confined "a certain person" as a test bench to create a beautiful woman who looks just like his late wife. A fiercely refracted love story between "a person" with perfect beauty and Robert. Is this a miracle that only ultimate love can do, or is it the work of the devil driven by desire and madness?

While capturing the sounds of leather and crystals, the songs played by silk and metal, the words and silence of the craftsmen, we will uncover the secrets of the craftsmen who have acquired the craftsmanship and spirit of harnesses and leather, crystals and silverwork. Life, enthusiasm, pride, passion that craftsmen convey ... It shines as one in the work, just like craftsmen make one bag or jewelry.
