Suzanne

Suzanne is a film about the life of Suzanne Noël (1878−1954). As a pio­neer in the world plas­tic surgery and a mil­i­tant fem­i­nist from the ear­ly 20th cen­tu­ry, Suzanne Noël has recent­ly become a pop­u­lar fig­ure. ​“Plas­tic surgery” and ​“fem­i­nism”, two notions one would not expect to see side by side. In Paris, from the Belle Epoque through the Roar­ing Twen­ties by way of the First World War, this film explores the uncon­ven­tion­al and extra­or­di­nary jour­ney of Suzanne, a woman who dreams of free­dom while being referred to by many as ​“dou­bly insane”.
