Synopsis
The preoccupation over physical beauty is as old as time; what is different today is the central role that the pursuit of the perfect body has taken: it has become our new religion.
"The Illusionists" is a feature-length documentary about the commodification of the body and the marketing of unattainable beauty around the world.
“To men a man is but a mind. Who cares what face he carries or what he wears? But a woman’s body is the woman.” – Ambrose Bierce (1906)
