Despite the homeopathic doctors studying medicine, they treat their patients against the basis of scientific knowledge. Allegations of fraud surround the topic. What remains of homeopathy when it's robbed of its beautiful imagery, when suddenly the documentary focuses strictly on the language and expression of it’s protagonists? In the film, some of the worlds leading homeopaths embark on adventurous explanations of their popular belief system.
Homeopathy Unrefuted?

David Bailey, the super-cool, super-talented fashion photographer who was the model for the lead role (played by David Hemmings) in Michelangelo Antonioni's 1966 classic film Blow-up, is now over 70. He is still active as a photographer, both in the fashion and art worlds. Director Jérôme De Missolz was permitted to film him from pretty close up. We see Bailey in his home, with his wife and children, and in discussions with his friends. We are also witness to the inception of a new photography project on his home turf, the East End of London. Bailey turns out to be an artist with no time for pretentiousness or over-complicated theorizing about his art. "Four beats to the bar and no cheating" is one of his favorite quotations from his hero Count Basie. In his photographs, this approach leads to the transparent style for which he has become famous. If possible, we can even forget we are looking at a photo, let alone a beautiful, exceptionally composed or creatively arranged photo. All we see is the person Bailey has photographed, in all his or her nakedness. Bailey's admirers also give their views, including his ex-wife Catherine Deneuve. No, he ever learned a word of French throughout their marriage. This is typical of the man: a rough diamond, even in his seventies.
David Bailey, Four Beats to the Bar and No Cheating

What do King Kong, Hitchcock and Hitler have in common? They all had a crush on blondes! Since ancient times no other hair colour has stimulated our fantasies like this one: symbol for the pure, the innocent, the angel - but also for the seducer, the vamp, the star. ‘The Colour Blond’ takes us on a tongue-incheek journey throughout the history of mankind to explore the global myth of fair hair. From Sleeping Beauty to Barbie, from Marilyn Monroe to Madonna, in fashion and fascism, in movies and art, blond has always been more than a mere colour. Speaking to natural and dyed blondes, to scientists and hair stylists, to movie stars and designers, this film tells more than the story of a hair colour. It is the story of an eternal fascination and fabrication: the myth of the colour blond.
