Poetry leaves beauty to the eye of the beholder. Science, on the other hand, seems to have discovered its parameters—suggesting that the same array of facial components sparks attraction in every culture and country. Without fully surrendering to the scientific viewpoint, this program examines the concept of the ideal face with investigative zeal. Presenter John Cleese, aided by Elizabeth Hurley, Pierce Brosnan, Joan Rivers, and Candice Bergen, studies the link between a specific set of details—such as big eyes, smooth skin, and facial symmetry—and our deep-rooted notions of health and fertility. The film also explores how these qualities are summed up in the so-called Golden Proportions and how they are related to athletic ability and financial success.
