Summary
Summary
Join John Cleese (Monty Python alum, star of A Fish Called Wanda, Professor-at-Large at Cornell University, and best-selling author on psychology) on this innovative exploration of the human face. Can a mathematical template tell you whether you are beautiful or not? How can you know if someone is lying? Do caricatures show us how we really see each other? Among dozens of experts, celebrities, and everyday people, we meet casting director Mali Finn as she tries to pick out the next famous face. Jim Cooke tells us about losing the ability to recognize faces. Combining comedy sketches and serious interviews, Cleese is joined by Elizabeth Hurley (the Austin Powers films), Michael Palin (Monty Python's Flying Circus), Prunella Scales (Fawlty Towers), Pierce Brosnan (The World is Not Enough) and Candice Bergen (Murphy Brown), among others.
Summary
Four episodes entitled 'Face to Face,' 'Here's Looking At You,' 'Beauty,' and 'Fame' examine the face from every angle - cultural, historical, biological, physiological, and psychological - in John Cleese's light but insightful manner.
